A SAFE HAVEN FOUNDATION CELEBRATES BRONZE ANTHEM AWARD RECOGNITION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PACKED WITH PURPOSE
Chicago, IL, November 22, 2024 — A Safe Haven Foundation is proud to announce our partnership with Packed with Purpose, which has recently been recognized with the Bronze Anthem Award for Social Impact Partnership. This accolade, awarded at the 4th Annual Anthem Awards, celebrates purpose and mission-driven work from organizations worldwide. It highlights the significant impact of our collaboration in supporting individuals facing homelessness and poverty.
Our joint efforts with Packed with Purpose are not only about providing services; they represent a profound commitment to fostering stability and independence for those we serve. Through the PwP Treats program, we offer meaningful employment opportunities to our residents, allowing them to develop essential skills and gain confidence as they work toward a more stable future.
Leatt Rothchild, the founder and CEO of Packed with Purpose, said she is grateful to lead a company serving the community and helping build people back up. “It’s such a beautiful opportunity to know that we’re not only providing gifts that folks are happy to give, but that we’re really creating opportunities in training individuals to feel good about entering the workforce,” Rothchild said.
At A Safe Haven Foundation, we focus on restoring hope and creating pathways to self-sufficiency. Each gift from the PwP Treats program not only brings joy to the recipient but also supports individuals in crisis, including veterans, families and those experiencing homelessness. With 400 residents currently on our North Lawndale campus, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment, housing, and career support.
Mark Mulroe, president of A Safe Haven Foundation, noted, “After gaining skills through Packed with Purpose, those who work with the nonprofit say the goal is to help people advance to other prospects. That’s kind of the A Safe Haven model – creating opportunities but making sure it’s the first part of their journey, not the destination.”
We are grateful to Packed with Purpose for their unwavering commitment to our mission and for recognizing the importance of employment as a crucial step toward recovery. Their partnership has been instrumental in amplifying our efforts, and we sincerely thank them for standing with us as we strive to make a meaningful impact. This collaboration exemplifies how working together can yield significant results and create lasting change in our communities.
As we celebrate this recognition, we reaffirm our dedication to empowering individuals in crisis and creating opportunities for growth and success. Together with Packed with Purpose, we will continue to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
