Recipient: Local homeless individuals Initiative: Got Your Back
For several years I have been keeping bags of food in my car to give out to persons who are homeless that I see while out driving. I include juice, fruit cups, crackers, granola bars, spoons, napkins, Wet Ones and M&Ms. I also include postcards provided by WCF to include a message about why I give the food. With the most recent group of bags, one of the young sisters in our ecclesia helped me fill the bags. I really enjoyed sharing this ministry project with the next generation.
I recently requested 24 backpacks and Bibles, along with the bracelets and card holders that stick on the back of a phone. I also requested a grant to help pay for tube socks, blankets, toothpaste and toothbrushes. I also added our ecclesia’s business card to the phone card holder.
I finally got the blankets and was able to fill the backpacks and have begun giving them out. It has always felt great to be able to give some food and be able to help someone in a practical way. It feels even better to give out the backpacks and, hopefully, meet a larger need.
The blankets arrived neatly rolled up in wrapped in plastic. In the attached photos, they look like bolster pillows.
