HOMELESSNESS IS A SITUATION, NOT AN IDENITY

We have distributed over 85k copies of our Navigational Guide that has helped individuals navigate resources. Maslow's Army hits the streets each and every day to look for gaps and fill the holes in our areas homeless population. Your gift will ensure that we can continue this work.
We Thank You,

THIS IS FREAKING HEARTBREAKING!!
While offloading groceries for a disabled senior citizen, my car was stolen.
We were hoping it was just a joyride the perpetrator wanted however, our car never turned up!!
The license plate was located in the rear window and Easter Candy for over 160 children was in the back seat and trunk!!
Please if you live within the Greater Cincinnati Area please help us find our car. We could only afford liability insurance because we were laid off so it won’t be replaced
Although we don’t have much I’ll give $200 to anyone who can help us get our car back!!
I’ve given many cars away and there no doubt in my mind if the one responsible for this major inconvenience had approached us needed a vehicle for a valid reason we would have gladly tried to raise a car for them too!!
If you see someone driving it please contact the local authorities, then call me at (513)764-0707
Thank you and please please share
I’m just looking for solutions, like the one that leads me back to my missing car!!

Taste of Cincinnati Years: 2017, 2018, and 2019. Maslow's Army was there! We provided those experiening homelessness with the opportunity to particpate in one of Cincinnati's biggest events. Those in need were provided with free Texas Roadhouse meals, pastries, and companionship.
During the course of the Covid-19 pandemic Maslow's Army sheltered over 261 individuals, families, and veterans expericing homelessness.
Ken Martin was a dedicated volunteer for Maslow's Army. In early 2017 he had overcame homelessness and addiction and began helping Maslow's Army as a dedicated volunteer. Sadly, Ken passed away on the bitter cold streets of Cincinnati and was found at a bus stop the day after Christmas at 5:45 am. due to hypothermia.
Maslow's Army fought for Ken. We were there advocating for change!
In 2019 Maslow's Army partnered with Truth and Destiny Church along with for Hamilton County to open up temporary shelter at the Hamilton County Jail, Churches, and various other locations to ensure safety during frigid tempertures.
Maslow's Army was there! Every single week Maslow's Army did a basic needs outreach. We provided individuals with free La Rosa's pizza, bottled water, fruit, dessert, hygiene items, and clothing. Since the pandemic we have temporairly shut down the outreach but are continuing peer mentoring daily for those experiening homelessness.
During some of the coldeest winters, Maslow's Army was there busing individuals experiening homelessness to shelters to ensure safety.

Maslow's Army Temporary Day Center for those experiencing homelessness wrapped up it's program on June 30th, 2021. With Covid 19 vaccines readily available, Maslow's Army completed their mission of protecting our cities homeless population. During the time where vaccines were limited, Maslow's Army protected those from the virus and from the harsh winter months in 2020. Thanks to our many donors who supported the day center. The day center was open from December 2020 to June 2021. During the day center's run Maslow's Army was open daily and was able to serve several meals a day, provide clients with connection to vital resources such as warm clothing, peer to peer mentoring, and through partnering agencies we were able to connect many individuals to detox and treatment centers. Thanks to our many partnering agencies who worked to help clients in the Maslow's Army Day Center.
During the course of the Covid-19 pandemic Maslow's Army sheltered over 261 individuals, families, and veterans expericing homelessness.
The individuals that were placed into hotel rooms also had regular health screenings, daily temperature checks, and 3 meals a day served by our amazing volunteers.
We don't know how many lives this program saved but we know it made a tremendous impact. Especially for those most vulnerable!
For the past 13 weeks Maslow's Army has been housing individuals and families (252) in area hotels. We believe that it is so important to engage with each guest and to do socially involved activities. 30 children and 10 adults including chaperones will be took part in Maslow's Army Cincinnati Zoo Day!
The Cincinnati Zoo will be hosted Maslow's Army for an exciting educational day of fun. There was also an official Hamilton County Sheriff's Department police escort (with lights) to the Zoo. The first stop was at the Hippo statue. Our guide lead us to the Africa Deck where we were treated to an amazing LaRosa's Pizza lunch donated by our partners, LaRosa Pizzeria.
Special Thanks to The Hamilton County Sheriff's Department, The LaRosa Family, The Cincinnati Zoo, Microtel Hotel, Brian Garry and Samuel Landis of Maslow's Army as well as all who have put this special day together!!!
