Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3
HIGHWAY TO DESTINY (HTD) HAS A FOUNDATIONAL PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE DROPS OF LOVE PROGRAM. HTD SELECTS A DOL RECIPIENT (HOMELESS AGENCY) WHO WILL RECEIVE BASIC NECESSITIES AND HYGIENE ITEMS DURING THE MONTH. A LEAD PERSON IS ASSIGNED TO NOTIFY THE AGENCY, INTRODUCE HIM/HERSELF AND TELLS THE AGENCY WHAT HTD DOES. DURING THE CONVERSATION, THE LEAD PERSON REQUESTS A WISH LIST FROM THE AGENCY. THEN, THE LEAD PERSON PASSES THE LIST TO THE SHOPPERS. ALONG WITH MAKING PURCHASES, WE OCCASSIONALLY RECEIVE DONATIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY. THE ITEMS ARE PACKED IN DOL BAGS AND PREPARED FOR DELIVERY. THE PROGRAM IS A SUCCESS BECAUSE WE RECEIVE BIG SMILES AND APPRECIATION LETTERS. IN 2022, HTD SERVED HUMANITRI, CITY HOPE AND PLACES FOR PEOPLE, WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 110 INDIVIDUALS. HTD'S LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE IS TO USE THIS PROGRAM AND OTHERS TO HELP THE HOMELESS BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT. WHEN RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE, THE HOMELESS HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO LIVE BETTER LIVES. BASED ON THE 2022 WORLD POPULATION REVIEW, MO HAS APPROXIMATELY 6,179 UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS. THE MEDIAN AGE IS 38.3 YEARS AND THE RATIO OF FEMALES TO MALES IS DIVIDED.

HTD'S PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE FOOD, HYGIENE ITEMS, CLOTHING, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR THE HOMELESS IN ST LOUIS.
