Street Outreach

Searching for people living on the streets, under bridges and in homeless camps, our Street Outreach program delivers food, snacks, water and offers support to those in need. Our teams build trust and rapport with the homeless community, providing not only essential supplies but also information about available services and resources. With consistent engagement, we create pathways to more stable living conditions and offer hope to people in vulnerable situations.

Mobile Food Distribution

Hundreds of cars line up on the first Saturday of every month for our drive-thru, Mobile Food Distribution. We provide fresh, healthy food to families including fruits, vegetables, dairy and non-perishable items. Our goal is to support the well-being of our community members and make sure no one goes hungry. Volunteers work tirelessly to organize, distribute and ensure that each family receives the assistance they need.

Community Events

Our Community Events bring neighbors together to celebrate, support, and grow as a community. From holiday celebrations like Thanksgiving and Christmas giveaways to back-to-school drives, barbecues, and kids’ activities, these events are designed to serve and uplift. Each event provides resources, connection, and joy, fostering a sense of unity and hope among participants. Join us as we create lasting memories and meaningful change in our community.

Adopt-A-Block

Block by block, street by street, we are dedicated to revitalizing under-resourced neighborhoods through monthly visits. Our Adopt-A-Block program helps build relationships, clean up the community and distribute essential resources such as food. Our team also provides emotional, physical and spiritual support to meet both immediate and long-term needs. By engaging directly with residents, we foster a sense of community and collaboration, working together to create a safer and more supportive environment for everyone.

Kidz Jam

Bringing some fun and entertainment to kids in our service neighborhoods, our Kidz Jam events provide them with a consistent, positive presence in their lives. By building trust and offering engaging educational activities, Kidz Jam establishes a secure environment where children can be themselves and have fun. Our volunteers take on the role of mentors and role models for these kids, nurturing their personal growth and a sense of community spirit.
