There is no doubt that homelessness is a problem that increases every year. The number of people affected by this plague now exceeds 3 million in the United States alone, and children make up one-third of that number. As the number of homeless grows, resources become scarcer and shelters struggle to provide basic services.

I am part of Students Helping the Homeless, a nonprofit organization that seeks to help solve this problem. My purpose in writing you is to solicit your support as we volunteers raise money and collect food and clothing on our annual walkathon. This event takes place Saturday, (date). I hope you will consider sponsoring me.

Students Helping the Homeless involve hundreds of local students who gather pledges for their walk. The money, food, and clothing go to: (list places and causes).

By becoming one of my sponsors, you can help people who have nowhere else to go.

If you can help and will agree to be one of my sponsors, just fill out the enclosed form and make out a check to Students Helping the Homeless.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Regards,
