The HOPE Syndicate is a team of what is referred to in the media as Real Life SuperHeroes, or RLSH. These are men and women who take on SuperHeroic personas to do good deeds in their own communities, while raising awareness of societal issues of all types.
In 2010 there was a homeless outreach program done in San Diego, and co-ordinated by Mr. X-Treme, a local RLSH. Being lucky enough to be a part of that, I found it imperative to create and co-ordinate a largescale event which became HOPE2011. HOPE is an acronym for Homeless Outreach Program Effect.
You can read about HOPE2011 inside, but the success of that mission, which saw 32 RLSH helping out an estimated 600 people in Downtown San Diego, became yet another catalyst in the creation of the HOPE Syndicate. A team dedicated solely to the issue of homelessness in the US and Canada.
Our Team HOPE is preparing to work towards a goal, together, of bringing awareness to this issue, and hopefully putting an end to it.

Please feel free to view this video of the HOPE2011 event as produced by filmmaker Michael Bennet. This will truly give you a small feel for what we are trying to accomplish on the streets, not only of San Diego, but we intend to be doing similar events throughout the US and Canada. Plus we have some other plans that we are working on to help the homeless get back into society.
HOPE2011
The 2011 event took place on July 23rd, 2011 in San Diego, Ca. we were able to provide 200 backpacks filled with all types of supplies, from personal hygeine items, to sun protection and fresh shirts and socks. As well as steel drink bottles and brand new sleeping bags. We also had a truck full of cold water, fruit juices, pears and Subway sandwiches. We estimate that during 2 hours we helped around 600 people who were very grateful that we took the time to be there with a smile and some much needed supplies.

The packs that we offered contained the following list of supplies. We will be doing the same items again in 2012, and we hope to double or more the amount of packs that we will be giving out.
