Items Are Always Needed

Welcome! We appreciate your interest in supporting our mission to be the hands and feet of Jesus through our very active street ministry. Your donations play a vital role in helping us provide food, supplies, compassion and love to those in need.

We are currently in need of all the items listed below.  Your contributions help us ensure that no one in our communities goes hungry and we hope to provide emergency tents as we receive them from your generous donations to help the homeless stay out of the elements.  The hot summer sun and the cold winters are brutal on them.

Our priority is to assist the homeless, in which they require food donations that consist of convenient items that are packaged or in flip-top cans for easy access. Many lack the means to heat food, so it's crucial to ensure that any donated canned meats are fully cooked. As you know the homeless require items that are ready to eat.

Food donations are also crucial for those who have the means to cook or heat their food. Numerous individuals are trapped in low-paying, minimum wage jobs and struggle to cope with soaring food costs while managing rent or mortgage, utility bills, and insurance. Often, they must forgo meals to pay these bills, compelling them to seek assistance, which can prevent homelessness,

We will post when we need food boxes for families with homes in need. Since they have the ability to cook, the donated food items can be a little different.
