One thing we love here at Charity Charms is seeing the unique ways organizations choose to use charms. There are so many special ways to use charms and charming products to help reinforce behaviors, become soldiers of support, or even teach a new skill. Charms are a fun way to unite your community in ways you may have never thought possible. That is one incredible thing about charms: they become whatever tool you want them to be. Over the years we have seen a lot of different uses, and today we are sharing  ideas to get you brainstorming how you can use charms and tokens in your organization.

Charming Use: Awareness

The Homeless ID Project began over 35 years ago after Rev. Gerald Roseberry spent a month living among the homeless in Downtown Phoenix and Tucson. He took on this task so he could better understand the needs of the homeless population and how his church could better assist them. One thing he began to notice was the lack of personal documents with ones identity often left those experiencing homelessness from accessing services to help them. This lead Rev. Roseberry to fund the Ecumenical Chaplaincy for the Homeless which eventually became the Homeless ID Project. The Homeless ID Project assists those experiencing homelessness with regaining their identity and get the help they need.

How they Use Charms: The Homeless ID Project created a series of our popular Caring Cords as a tool for fundraising and a way to thank the volunteers at their Human Services Campus. Both of these ways allow volunteers and supporters to be reminded of the incredible work they are doing to improve the lives of others who are trying to regain their self-sufficiency.
