On the streets connecting with individuals in the community to build positive relationships and showing them the love and compassion of Jesus.

Our team will be going out to the Heartside, downtown, and other surrounding areas to reach out to individuals experiencing homelessness. We'll be offering them a hot shower, along with basic care items, water, snacks, and resources that they may need.

Volunteering is more than lending a hand—it’s the first step toward building trust and opening doors to deeper outreach opportunities. By consistently showing up and serving, volunteers develop strong relationships, gain valuable experience, and learn about the community’s needs firsthand. This foundation of trust and understanding may lead to other Outreach opportunities.
