Be Encouraged Inc serves the most vulnerable and marginalized people in our community. Our outreach program includes delivering hygiene, food, and above all, kindness to our unhoused neighbors with the goal of fostering hope through dignity and encouraging them towards stable housing.

Welcome to Be Encouraged Inc!
LOVE is often inconvenient.
The scripture says love is patient which actually alludes to the inconvenience of it all...
And speaking of inconvenience, isn't it the hallmark of purpose and calling? How many people do you know can describe the call on their life as convenient?
If we tried to measure our success without including love we would be doing a disservice to the Gospel, to our donors, and to our volunteers.
The practical side of love is that we don’t get to ignore the despair and pain associated with the circumstances of being unhoused.
Love doesn’t allow us to choose our experience. Love says that we are there for it all, even the things that make us uncomfortable, irritated or broken hearted.
Check out opportunities to volunteer below and use the provided links to register.
Join on us Every Wednesday for Direct Outreach into Unhoused Encampments
We currently serve up to 150 people with food and basic needs every Wednesday.
Potential volunteers must be able to walk up to 2 miles or stand for 2 hours.
Provide Food for Our Direct Outreach!
Every Wednesday for the last 4.5 years we have been committed to direct outreach in the River District. We deliver brown bag lunches, hot coffee, water, hygiene products and other basic necessities.
Our outreach program is dependent on donations. Donating the food for our program is volunteering!

Serve at Stay Safe Tiny Home Shelters
Stay Safe Tiny Home Shelters provide transitional tiny home shelter for men and women experiencing homelessness.
There are currently two shelters where we serve: one on Florin Road and one on East Parkway.
"The shelters are non-congregate sleeping cabins for people experiencing homelessness. They provide wraparound services like case management, meals, and rehousing assistance, aiming to transition residents to stable housing through a low-barrier entry system."
This service opportunity is perfect for relational individuals comfortable interacting with people in transition. Our goal is simple: to support the residents and build a community that bridges transitional and stable housing. We believe fully engaged volunteers will help us achieve this goal!
The following dates are available in 2026:
October 17th - Florin
October 24th - East Parkway
November 21 - Florin
November 28th - East Parkway
December 19 - Florin
December 26th - East Parkway

Gospel and Goodies - Small Batch Community Outreach
The Gospel is central to all that we do and we've never met anyone who doesn't appreciate a beautiful baked good. This initiative combines these two things.
Join us for spirit driven community outreach in Sacramento. Sites will vary based on the locations of encampments and where the spirit sends us.
Sundays 11am to 1pm.
