Supporting SMALL TOWNS
Strengthening HOMETOWNS
Rush4Hometowns is dedicated to uplifting small-town and rural communities by addressing their unique needs with compassion and purpose. From battling food insecurity to providing safe housing, we tailor solutions that make a real, lasting difference in the lives of individuals and families. Together, we’re building stronger, more resilient hometowns.
At Rush4Hometowns, our mission is simple yet profound: to strengthen small towns by providing vital resources like food, clothing, and home repairs while fostering a sense of hope and empowerment. Through community-driven efforts, we ensure that every action makes a meaningful impact where it matters most.
THE PROBLEM
Rural communities often face unique challenges, and thanks to your support, we’re addressing them head-on:
5.8 million rural Americans struggle with poverty (12.7% rural poverty rate vs. national average of 11.1%).
3 million rural households experience food insecurity, almost 15% of the rural population.
14% of rural children live in poverty, highlighting an urgent need for basic resources and educational support.
Income disparity between rural and urban areas has widened by 40% in recent decades.
Your contributions have helped us combat these alarming statistics by creating programs that provide food, clothing, home repairs, and much more.
OUR SOLUTION
Over the past year, your generosity has fueled our progress in the following ways:
100+ Families Fed through "Harvest for Hometowns," ensuring no household in our partnered communities went hungry.
250+ Clothing Items Distributed through "Warm Winters, Bright Summers" to protect individuals against harsh weather and provide everyday essentials.
15 Homes Repaired through the "Home Heroes" program, helping families and elderly residents live safely in their homes.
5 Emergency Aid Cases Addressed through the "Rush Response Team," offering immediate relief to those in crisis.
3 Revitalized Public Spaces with "Better Together Days," uniting communities for clean-ups and beautification projects.
These accomplishments are just the beginning of what we can achieve together.
