"Outreach is the activity of providing services to any population that might not otherwise have access to those services.
"A key component of outreach is that the group providing it is not stationary, but mobile; in other words, it involves meeting someone in need of an outreach service at the location where they are."
"A program designed to help and encourage disadvantaged members of the community and is often carried out by non-profit organizations."
"Outreach is often meant to fill in the gap in the services provided by mainstream (often governmental) services."
"Be present in the community, listen actively, and show empathy. Take the time to get to know the people and demonstrate your commitment to their needs and goals."
"to tackle a plethora of issues across education, healthcare, and social services, all with the aim of creating a positive ripple effect in the community."
WHY DO WE DO IT? "It's the desire to meet people where they are at, build deep trust and connections, offer support, and reinforce the human dignity and respect that is deserving"
YOU ARE NEEDED? "Are you a lawyer, housing expert, bible teacher, baker, barber, chef, hair stylist, trauma experienced social worker, wealthy, or have the fruits of the spirit?
Be Encouraged Inc and Midtown Church are actively engaged in direct outreach to the most marginalized humans in our city. We firmly believe that genuine connections pave the way for the gospel to naturally flow.
Our mission? To deliver hygiene, food, water, and above all, kindness to Sacramento's unhoused population, with the ultimate goal of providing them with stable housing.
With you as partners, we're fostering relationships and building trust with those we serve. In a community where trust is scarce, we strive to be known as the ones who truly care.
We listen to their stories, their struggles, and their dreams. Every interaction is an opportunity to affirm their worth and for them to understand how God really sees them.
We're not just providing services; we're restoring hope and dignity. We're honored to be trusted allies of the encampments, and we're confident that through our efforts, God will bring about salvation and transformation.
But we can't do it alone. We need your support to sustain and expand our efforts.
Join us on this journey of compassion and transformation. Let's make a difference in the lives of Sacramento's unhoused community.
Join us for a reality tour through the unhoused encampments we serve. Meet the people we serve. See the conditions in which they live.
