Homeless Outreach

Salt & Light: Helping the Homeless with Compassion and Purpose

Join the movement to uplift those facing homelessness and addiction in your community—one meaningful action at a time.

Why Act Now?

Homelessness is not just a statistic—it’s real lives touched by isolation, addiction, and broken dreams. Faith-based outreach empowers volunteers and churches to spark hope, restore dignity, and make a lasting difference. Every meal served, donation sorted, or conversation shared brings light to someone in crisis.

For Individuals

• Volunteer with a local faith-based ministry to provide meals, organize donations, mentor, or help with job skills training.

• Show compassion balanced by wisdom: Uplift without enabling—encourage accountability, promote use of community resources, and support long-term solutions like employment, education, and sobriety.

• Humanize the struggle: Smile, listen, and strengthen relationships to foster genuine healing.

For Small Groups

• Research local resources and schedule regular volunteer outings.

• Prepare hygiene kits and collect donations for outreach.

• Model empathy, attend community events, and advocate for practical solutions together.

• Reflect monthly on your impact and plan new service initiatives.

For Churches

• Partner with other faith-based organizations to map resources and fill service gaps.

• Host shelters, health fairs, or job training workshops in available facilities.

• Coordinate joint outreach and advocacy efforts; track results and celebrate successes.

• Empower change: Focus on housing, employment, and skills with relational support, not just charity.

Kids Lesson: “All People Are Valuable to God”

• Teach children that every person matters and deserves kindness, based on Biblical truth.
