Local Outreach - Financial Support

2024 Accomplishments!

We know it's not Biblical to brag of good works and generosity.

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them...do not announce it with trumpets... to be honored by others". Matthew 6:1-4

However, gatekeeping the good news of our work seems contrary to progress and our hope for the future of the ministry.

“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 15:11

Between October 2023 and October 2024, with the help of many volunteers, we were privileged to do the following:

Delivered 15,010 Lunches
Delivered 17,000 Bottles of Water
Provided 802 Showers
Served 506 Hot Meals
Handed out 1,550 Blankets
Handed out 3,000 bags of baby wipes
Served 1,500 cups of coffee

Our outreach program includes mobile showers and delivering hygiene, food, and above all, kindness to unhoused encampments with the goal of encouraging people towards stable housing.

𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒹𝒾𝒹 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓈𝓉 𝑜𝒻 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓈𝑒, 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒹𝒾𝒹 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓂𝑒. It's our desire to meet people where they are at, build deep trust and connections, offer support, and reinforce dignity.

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒽𝒶𝓇𝓋𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝒾𝓈 𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝒻𝓊𝓁. We rely on volunteers and financial donations to do what we do. You are needed whether you are a lawyer, housing expert, bible teacher, mother, father, sister, brother, baker, barber, chef, hair stylist, trauma experienced social worker, wealthy, or have the fruits of the spirit.

Join us on this journey of compassion and transformation. Let's make a difference in the lives of Sacramento's unhoused community.

Where words fail us at times, our actions are the best way to demonstrate the principles of the Gospel; forgiveness, grace, and mercy.

If we tried to measure our success without including the human connections we have made, we would be doing a disservice to the Gospel, to our donors, and to our volunteers.

The practical side of connection is that we don’t get to ignore the despair and pain associated with the circumstances of being unhoused. Connection doesn’t allow us to choose our experience. Connection says that we are there for it all, even the things that make us uncomfortable.

Our friends on the streets, without houses, are the most vulnerable humans living in our neighborhoods.

It's estimated by social service experts in the field and faith leaders (When Helping Hurts) that it requires over 200 touch points to change a life.

Thank you for supporting our mission of consistent touch points.
