Happy New Year! 2011 has come and gone with dozens of movements and events that filled the conversations of newscasters around the world. We witnessed the “Arab Spring,” encountered Occupy movements in our cities and watched it spread like wildfire, and we celebrated the creation of the world’s newest country—South Sudan. 

2011 was a significant year for KNO as well. It was our first full year of operation, and it is certainly a year we won’t forget. We were thrilled to meet so many of our customers and supporters at various events; launch new products; and receive great press coverage. What’s even more exciting is that we were able to host over 12 Delivery events across the country and distribute over 500 articles of clothing to people on the streets. Not only that, but we were able to help house over 11,400 people through the hard work of our partners, the Bethesda Mission and the 100,000 Homes Campaign.

As we begin this New Year, we look forward to growing and helping to bring change in more lives. We have big goals and big dreams, and we will do our best to bring the most positive change to as many people as possible. We hope you will continue to be great customers and supporters. We challenge you to live out our Manifesto and spread the KNO story to all of your friends. 


Together, we can help end homelessness.
