Welcome to Basic Needs Foundation, Inc.

Basic Needs Foundation, Inc. (B.N.F. ) is a nonprofit organization.
We provide food for working homeless people, who live in their vehicles with their children. We also provide pet food for homeless people’s pets. Their vehicles are their homes!

We also provide pet food to low income people and cat food for feral cats. We find homes for pets, when their working homeless owners can no longer take care of them.

We organize and fundraise for the "Fix Your Pets" Mobile spay/neuter  program. This allows us to hire mobile clinics and provide spaying and neutering to low income pet owners in small towns. The program simply does not exist in rural, small towns.

The best chance for a huge number of unwanted animals is that they don't exist. This can be done by spaying/neutering and T.N.R. (trapping/neutering/release) their intact parents.

Homeless

The Census Bureau reports about 100 million Americans—one in three—live in or perilously close to poverty. Many are working but rely on food stamps, government agencies and charity to feed, clothe and provide medical care to their children.

According to the USDA in September 2011, 46,268,257 Americans and 21,938,827 households use Supplemental Nutrition Assisance Program (SNAP), more commonly known as food stamps.

Hardly all marginalized Americans are recent immigrants with poor English proficiency. Many are high school graduates or have been to college but can’t land a decent, permanent job.

Food and hunger are a lens through which we see what America has become: a country indifferent to the basic needs of its citizens, one that forces millions of them to rely on private charity that is inadequate, inefficient and frequently unavailable.
