Community Outreach

CARING FOR THOSE UNSHELTERED IN OUR COMMUNITY

Our Outreach Team meets people where they are, offering food, clothing, hygiene items, basic health support, and compassionate care to those sleeping outside or experiencing homelessness. More than meeting immediate needs, the team builds trusted relationships and helps connect people to shelter, housing pathways, health care, identification support, mental health and substance use services, and other community resources. Every connection is a step toward safety, stability, and hope.
