At CharityRx, we believe in making the world a better place, one prescription at a time. This August, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Hope for Homeless Youth as our Charity of the Month. Through this initiative, we will direct all donations to Project 150 in Las Vegas, a cause that hits close to home for many of us. By simply using the CharityRx prescription discount card, you not only save money on medicines but also contribute to meaningful causes. Here’s how your involvement can make a difference.
Project 150 is a remarkable organization dedicated to assisting homeless high school students in the Las Vegas area. Established in 2011, Project 150 has been a lifeline for countless young people who face the daunting challenges of homelessness while trying to complete their education. The organization provides free essential items like food, clothing, and hygiene products at the Project 150 shop, Betty’s Boutique. Providing donated resources in a shop environment where kids can browse for what they need promotes autonomy and a sense of normalcy. These resources make a significant difference in the lives of students and their families struggling to meet their basic needs.
In addition to providing daily essentials, Project 150 offers assistance through programs like group activities to build connection and community, holiday meals for teens and their families, life skill and workforce readiness workshops, over 100 scholarship opportunities, and shopping events where kids can choose prom attire and back-to-school clothing and supplies.

Many lack access to basic necessities, making it difficult to focus on their education and future aspirations.
