Humanizing the Homeless.\" Caridad was created in 2010 to bring socks, underwear and education to those in San Diego County. Caridad partnered with all homeless agencies in San Diego County to donate new socks and underwear to those in need through their Undie Sunday drives. Caridad also helped to educate the general public about fact versus fiction on homeless issues. CaridadSD also spotlighted and partnered with top charities based on Guidestar, Charity Navigator and published financials. Caridad has brought education to San Diego County via written blogs, video blogs, fundraising, educational panels and worked in partnership with the San Diego City Council. In 2014 through a generous donation made by Downtown Project Caridad was able to move from San Diego to Las Vegas. In addition to continuing Undie Sunday drives in Southern Nevada, Caridad has expanded to provide customer service based outreach to homeless. Caridad partners with Nevada Homeless Alliance to promote community and agency collaborations. With the blessing of Clark County Social Services as well as the Las Vegas VA, Caridad has begun coordinating outreach agencies to better service and help homeless get housing. Caridad is committed to transparency. By taking best practices from around the country and partnering with the existing Southern Nevada homeless agencies, Caridad is able to service the clients without duplicating resources. Having studied public speaking for 8 years. I have spoken to groups such as Zappos, youth groups, churches, and even regularly at College of Southern Nevada\'s Community Health worker class.
