March 2025 Newsletter Spring Time!

Our homeless brothers and sisters have endured the cold weather and now desperately need warm weather clothing.

On this day we shared God’s love, compassion, and hope with more than 110 needy folks. We passed out 100 bags, 36 ladies’ personal care backpacks, 5 bags for dogs, 21 sleeping bags, and 110 hamburgers.

551 articles of clothing that included 158 T-shirts, 140 pair of new underwear, 82 pair pants & belts, 22 pair of shoes, 136 pair socks, and 39 ball caps.

It was a great day!

Our homeless friends living on the streets experience hunger, fear, loneliness, and harsh weather on a daily basis.

Please take a moment to read their names and pray for their concerns.

Ways you can help us help others

 We always are in need of clean men’s and ladies’ shirts, tops, pants, sweaters, coats, socks, bras, caps, and new underwear.  We especially need men’s pants, jeans, and shorts in sizes 30-38. Shoes & boots suitable for outdoor wear, blankets, sleeping bags, & tents are useful.                                       

Assembling and filling bags and Ladies’ backpacks.                                                                            This is generally done one Saturday each month and is a fun time of fellowship.

Sorting clothes. People are responding to our need for clean or new clothing items. Volunteers are much needed to help sort, size, and organize these items.  We meet in our fellowship hall every Monday morning from 9:00 to 10:30, and always appreciate help.                                                                             

Financial contributions. It takes a lot of time, energy, money, and prayer to keep this ministry going.  Your financial contributions will allow us to continue this ministry and share God’s love with others.
