About us
More than Circumstance is a not-for-profit that harnesses the power of social media and bridges community resources to service providers to support individuals experiencing homelessness. Beyond being an advocacy-focused organization, we supplement our voice with action that tangibly support those experiencing homelessness. Our efforts are intended to empower those experiencing homelessness, and also act as a reminder to the general public- homelessness is an experience that can happen to anyone. Treat everyone with dignity and kindness, and recognize the inherent value that a person has despite circumstances not always in one’s control.

Thank you to all our volunteers who came out to make last Saturday’s service event successful! 💛💙 Together, we were able to prepare 165 sandwiches, make 5 gallons of hot chocolate, organize 50 care packages with winter gear and hand written words of affirmation (sponsored by Nav Randhawa Insurance), hand out a variety of snacks, and distribute 60 yummy cheese-filled pastries (sponsored by Love Pastel). Thank you Scott Mckenzie Marketing for your time and support with capturing our service to the community and preparing this recap video! And to everyone who’s purchased one of our tote bags, thank you for your contribution towards making this event possible 🙏 More events coming soon. Stay tuned!
