In this Season of Giving, support the Guam Homeless Coalition and their vital work with those experiencing homelessness.
KUAM found out more on the 'Tag You’re It' challenge and how you can participate.
“It is made up of highly committed individuals who are dedicated to serving our homeless individuals. It is a collective of organizations, individuals, and community partners who come together who come together to try and solve some challenges that we face as a community regarding homelessness,” said Aja Ramos, GHC Chairperson.
Ramos shared what the non-profit does for the island.
The people who make up the GHC take part in critical events such as the point-in-time count, which is a national effort and passport to services.
The GHC also assists in community outreach.
“So you'll see teams go out on the streets looking for people and connect them to the services and oftentimes providing food and commodities for them,” said Ramos.
As a non-profit, much of what they do and provide is made possible by donations. To help offset costs for all the ton of work they do, the GHC has kicked off their 'Tag You’re It' challenge as part of Homelessness Awareness Month and runs until Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3.
“It’s really just asking individuals to provide a contribution and to spread the word and the good will by tagging a friend, a co-worker, a partner, another organization, to donate to the cause. These funds are really important to us because it goes directly to individuals who need support in our community who are struggling with homelessness,” added Ramos.
It's easy to join in on the 'Tag You’re It GHC challenge, all you have to do is scan the QR code, donate any amount to GHC, call out your friends, family or co-workers by posting a video or photo.

“If you've got $5, $10, $20, and once that multiplies, it really adds up. I want individuals to know and walk away with a sense that their money has truly helped a person,” he said.
