Homeless Ministry
Every Monday morning, teams of volunteers gather to serve 45-60 homeless adults to provide for their material and spiritual needs in a welcoming environment. The program begins with a light breakfast, followed by an hour discussion about the Gospel passage from the day before, and then distribution of toiletries, new socks and underwear and brown bag lunches made by volunteers.
There are openings for people interested in volunteering from 7:30–11 on Monday mornings, or who would like to provide lunches or breakfast food on a regular basis. Specialized volunteers are sought with background in mental health, psychiatry, or social work to play a key role. The program also needs toiletry donations, as well as financial support to purchase supplies and new socks and underwear for our homeless guests.
