OUTREACH TO UNHOUSED
In our community, over 250 homeless people are living in the woods and in need of hope. As we look to take the love of Jesus
to them, we are asking our church community to help by donating 3 needed items this summer (socks, panties "women's underwear size S or M", and Pop Tarts "any flavor"). As our Life Essentials team has begun to connect with this population in need, these 3 simple items are often requested. Providing these needs will help us to build relationships and share the ultimate hope found in Jesus! We have collection boxes in the foyer for these items.
