About Us

Our Mission

Hard Hitters for the Kingdom Inc. and Socks 2 Serve are dedicated to bringing hope to the hopeless and compassion to those in need. Through providing essential items like food, socks, and hygiene supplies, we aim to restore dignity and offer support to those facing hardship.

One of our immediate goals is to provide transportation for the homeless in our Southern Arizona community. We plan to purchase two outreach vehicles that will be integral to our mission of delivering aid directly to those in need. These vehicles will enable us to offer wrap-around services, ensuring continuity of care for those we serve.

In addition, we aim to purchase property for housing solutions such as tiny homes, smaller shelters, or transitional homes for the homeless. This facility will offer not only shelter but also access to vital resources, including support for mental health, substance abuse recovery, and more. Through the partnerships we have cultivated and will continue to build in our city, we are committed to providing comprehensive care to those in need.

However, our vision extends beyond our local community. We aspire to expand our efforts to other cities across the United States, ensuring that the impact of our work is long-lasting. Our goal is for our legacy to be defined not by who we are, but by what we do for others. Loving and caring for those living on the streets is more than a mission for us—it is who we are, woven into the very fabric of our identity and DNA.

When faced with adversity, we don't back down. When trials come, we don't turn away. When opportunities arise, we embrace them. The diverse experiences that shape Hard Hitters and Socks 2 Serve fuel our shared vision and drive us to see our dreams become reality.

HRT- Homeless Response Team

Our Homeless Response Team Specialists make first contact with individuals on the streets, addressing immediate needs such as hygiene, socks, and food. They help those in acute crises access resources, de-escalate situations, and avoid hospitalization or incarceration, while also creating pathways to long-term stability.

We coordinate with law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, and social services to provide alternative solutions that prevent unnecessary arrests or hospital admissions.

Additionally, our team links individuals to essential resources, including shelters, counseling, addiction treatment, food services, and medical care.

The number of individuals facing housing insecurity in Pima County rose by 20.9%, from 1,372 in 2019 to 1,660 in 2020, highlighting the growing urgency for this project. Furthermore, the January 2023 "Point In Time Count" reported 2,209 individuals were experiencing homelessness, reflecting a concerning 60% increase.

For those without stable housing, access to clean clothing is not just a matter of hygiene—it is a fundamental step in restoring dignity and breaking the cycle of homelessness. By providing consistent services, we can build trust, offering the necessary support to help individuals transition from despair to hope, and ultimately, to stable housing.

Through our growing partnership with the City of Tucson and other community organizations, this "Loads of Love" laundry trailer will play a pivotal role in strengthening local efforts and fostering collaboration in addressing homelessness.
