When the economy is impacted, companies pull back from charity giving. These are the challenges that organizations like Chosen 300 face on a daily basis. Therefore, we are working overtime to bring in the resources needed to help individuals get a better start in life. Keep in mind, We Can’t Do This Alone. We need your help to make a difference in our communities.

Every 4th Monday of the month, Chosen 300 hosts "Barber Day" at our 1116 Spring Garden Street location; every 2nd Monday Barber Day is at 3959 Lancaster Ave. location. Barbers from surrounding cities give up their time to give many of the homeless men in our community new hair cuts.
