Savannah Henderson Capstone 2025

My capstone project was to assist the homeless population as well as local shelters in the City of Philadelphia. The process was a combination of collecting items and distributing them to different kinds of shelters. Not only did I give the donations I received to different shelters, but I also handed bags with different necessities inside to homeless people I saw on the streets.

In the past, we have collected blankets, jackets, and other items before but never the amount that we collected for my capstone. Because my mom and I help out whenever we can, I thought that this would be a perfect idea for my capstone. Taking a passion of mine and doing a big project on it was the best thing I could’ve done.

I’ve learned so much throughout the process of my capstone project. I’ve learned a lot about the importance of time management. I’ve also got to hear some peoples’ stories and how they ended up homeless. I’ve learned how important helping out truly is to me and I realized I want to make a nonprofit organization. I gained so much knowledge about different organizations and shelters, and I learned a lot of new editing techniques. To me, the most important thing I learned is that I want to do this for the rest of my life. I never want to lose my passion for giving back. I want to have a non-profit later in the future alongside a job that can help many people.
