How you can help

We reach out to the homeless community, continually needing hygiene products.  We provide food and clothing to homeless communities in different locations, rent motel rooms during extreme weather to ensure safety for the vulnerable, and supply clothes and essentials for individuals transitioning out of incarceration. Throughout the year, we teach in various prisons, and your financial contributions help cover transportation, maintenance, and supplies for copies and handouts.  Most importantly keep our teams in prayer, prayer is the most powerful weapon.
