At projectUmbrella, our mission is to lend a helping hand to the unhoused communities of New York City, Seattle, Phoenix, and Austin. Starting from 2015 in New York City, we've been handing out care packages containing seasonal essentials, such as umbrellas for the winter and sunscreen for the summer, as of 2021, we expanded to helping the unhoused community in Seattle as well. In 2024, we furthered our reach to the Greater Phoenix Area's houseless community; as of 2025, we have expanded our mission to Austin, Texas. While handing out care packages, we do our best to go beyond giving by focusing on getting to know our unhoused community and listening to their stories. Through our mission, we hope to inspire others to appreciate how much acknowledgment and a simple conversation can mean to our unhoused community.
