Understand Who the Homeless Are

Know that homelessness is a complex issue with many causes. Each homeless person is an individual with unique needs. Most are able and willing to work. They are not the perpetual social problem many believe they are.

Share God's Love Wherever You Can

If Jesus were walking the Earth today, He would doubtless spend time with the homeless speaking with, healing and helping them. Today, Jesus chooses to work through those who follow Him.

Pray for the Homeless

Exposure to the elements, disease, dirt and occasional violence all sap years off a person’s life in a very short time! God can use your prayers and the brutality of the streets to bring many of the broken to Himself.

5.

Give Clothing

Most of us have closets that need cleaning! Used clothing, and especially new socks and underclothing can be donated to shelters. Having something new to wear gives a psychological lift.

Volunteer at a Shelter

Our ministry is possible because of our amazing volunteers—signing people in, serving meals, counseling and so much more.

Volunteer Your Professional Talents 

No matter what you do for a living, you can help the homeless with your on-the-job talents and skills. The homeless’ needs are bountiful–your time and talents are greatly appreciated.

Volunteer Your Hobbies

Every one of us has something we can share with the homeless. Give demonstrations of what you know how to do, teach classes or even just share your hobby one-on-one with a homeless person to make a difference in someone's life.
