Unisocial in Richmond, Virginia, for Community Giveback

 

Richmond and Homelessness

Richmond, Virginia, known for its vibrant culture, was recently ranked the 3rd best place to travel by Travel & Leisure, recognized as the top foodie city by National Geographic, and in 2023, it was ranked by the Wall Street Journal as USA’s 11th-hottest job market. However, behind the accolades, Richmond also faces challenges. According to the July 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) count, 585 people in the city were experiencing homelessness in a given night, with 267 individuals living unsheltered.

 

Unisocial Community Giveback

On September 28th, 2024, at 10 AM, five Unisocial volunteers gathered in Richmond to support those in need. The team distributed food, water, clothing, and essential supplies to the homeless community, making a positive impact on those facing hardship.

 

Reflections

Pastor Edward Buthelezi reflected on the event, saying, “It was a great blessing to see the people touched by this effort. They truly appreciated the support.”
