Year-End Resolutions: Make it a Great Year

We all know what New Year’s Resolutions are. After all, a lot of us—maybe even all of us—have had some at least at one point in our lives, if not every year. However, this year there’s a new concept we here at Embrace Relief would like you to seriously consider: Year-End Resolutions.

How Year-End Resolutions Work

The great thing about Year-End Resolutions is they’re something you can do—right here, right now—before the year is officially over. And you can do something truly special, gracious, and selfless that has an impact, like contributing to one of Embrace Relief’s many humanitarian causes (listed below). And the best thing is—by doing so, you’ve officially made 2021 a great year. Not just for yourself, but people who need support but have nowhere and no one to turn to. Happy Year-End!

Our International Campaigns

 

• Yemen—Help provide food to people suffering from the world’s worst man-made humanitarian crisis in the world in Yemen. Since 2020 we’ve distributed over a thousand food packages to hungry people in Yemen, but there are still so many more who need help!
• Refugees in Greece—Help provide food, shelter, rent assistance, schooling for children, and much more for refugees who fled to Greece due to conflict in their own countries. So far we’ve helped over 1.4 million refugees integrate themselves into their new country, but there are still so many more who need assistance!
• Clean water—Help supply clean water to vulnerable people in sub-Saharan Africa who currently don’t have access to it. Clean water prevents death, improves the quality of life, and reduces the extreme poverty in the area. To date we’ve constructed and refurbished 500 water wells, supplying 500,000 people with clean water on a regular basis, but there are still so many more people in need. You can have a water well in your name. Ask us how you can make a lasting impact!
• Raise the Children—Help support 130 vulnerable children across three orphanages in Tanzania and The Democratic Republic of the Congo. This not only includes food, water, and shelter, but funds for their education and health insurance to protect against the many hazards of the region. To date, we’ve supported over 1,000 underprivileged children.
  Plus, in honor of International Day of the Girl this year, we distributed menstrual pads to 700 students—as well as teachers and staff members—of the secondary school Kawe Ukwamani in Tanzania. The poverty in the region makes it difficult for them to afford sanitary pads; hence, leading to menstrual-related infections, psychological embarrassment, and poor school performance among female students.

 

Hunger Relief in the United States

You can also aid Americans struggling to put food on the table, a problem drastically exacerbated by COVID-19 and leading to more people becoming homeless. Plus, this unfortunate situation is only bound to increase as colder weather continues to approach. In 2020, we distributed roughly 5,000 food packages to hungry families, but there are still so many more who need help! We also reached 320 families this past year in Orange, East Orange, Hackensack, and Montclair, New Jersey with our mobile market, Harvest Trolley. Harvest Trolley is a unique, brand-new venue invented by Embrace Relief in which we literally bring a “supermarket” directly to our beneficiaries.
