Our mission
Our mission is to bring hope, healing, and encouragement through the power of music. Giving Guitars reaches people who are facing some of life’s hardest moments, including those experiencing homelessness, brokenness, loss, abuse, addiction, or neglect, as well as children without parents, low-income students, at-risk youth, and veterans. By donating guitars and sharing live music experiences, we remind people that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. Music becomes a bridge that lifts spirits, rebuilds confidence, and inspires new beginnings.
We also partner with shelters, youth programs, and community organizations to raise awareness and support for the individuals they serve. Our goal is simple: to use music as a tool of love, hope, and restoration, helping every person we reach rediscover their worth and purpose. Homelessness in America is a serious problem, but together we can make a positive impact through music. Studies have shown that playing an instrument can relieve stress, build character, give direction, and help change lives for the better no matter what circumstances a person is facing. The Bible tells us it is better to give than to receive, so we hope to encourage others to also offer their time, talents, and treasure to those without food to eat or a home to live in. Together we can make a difference!
HERE IS WHAT WE DO:
- Donate a guitar for the residents to use while staying at their facility
- Live performance for residents and staff
- Tour and video the facility to share on social media
- Create a press release and flyer for promotion
- Perform at a venue near the shelter to promote, raise awareness and raise funds specifically for their facility.
