FINALIST 2024
Our team had the privilege of visiting City Relief in New York City, witnessing their inspiring efforts to build and transform communities. During our visit, we were joined by locals, wanting to serve alongside us and gain a deeper understanding of how to effectively support individuals experiencing homelessness. Together, we experienced the profound impact of City Relief's work, fostering compassion and a greater appreciation for the approach to helping those in need. This eye-opening experience reaffirmed our belief in the power of community and the importance of creating a supportive environment for individuals facing homelessness.

Love Your City is a foundation designed to connect people with nonprofits that are making a difference in their local communities, share powerful stories of local impact in a multimedia format, and inspire local action through collaborative initiatives. Founded by Bob Dalton, the CEO of Sackcloth and Ashes, a 1-for-1 blanket company that donates a blanket to a local homeless shelter for every blanket sold, Love Your City is the logical extension of Sackcloth’s mission to inspire generosity and empower local impact.
Loveyourcity.org is a platform where you can search your city and discover organizations doing meaningful work, find opportunities to donate and volunteer, and explore articles, podcasts, videos, and other forms of content that highlight local solutions in your city. It’s a one-stop-shop where you can find a way to make a real difference in the world right outside your front door.
In addition to the web platform, the Love Your City podcast is a powerful series in which Bob Dalton sits down with grassroots organization leaders from all over the nation. He listens to their stories and gains insight from real-world, local changemakers. You can find the podcast on all major platforms and on the website: loveyourcity.org/podcasts.
