RESCUE BUDDEES

Rescue Buddees is a small non-profit organization aimed to "rescue" families in need. 100% of all donations are given to families in need.       

Yes, we know what you’re thinking, “ANOTHER sub-for-Santa?” Did you know that 45% of Americans admit they do not expect to have enough money to cover holiday expenses? Did you also know that 1 in 3 Americans are only one paycheck away from being homeless? That means there are over 179 million people that will have to choose from paying their bills or providing Christmas for their families. These are your neighbors, family members, coworkers and others you pass in the grocery store.

Therefore, we have decided to create Rescue Buddees, where families can be “rescued” from the difficult times surrounding the holidays.We are currently looking for people - individuals, families, church groups, companies and friend groups - that are willing to provide a Christmas to those in need. Likewise, we are also looking for families in need of a Rescue Buddee.

VOLUNTEER TO BECOME A RESCUE BUDDEE!

Each Rescue Buddee has the choice to either donate money or sponsor a family. We prescreen the families to ensure we are helping those who have immediate needs. 100% of monetary donations will go to the families. We are transparent in how the donations are used, and if you donate money, we will notify you of where and how your money has been used to benefit the families.
