Our work is HOLISTIC. We understand the connections between: a decent place to live, a living wage job, spiritual health, clean water, quality education, child care, healthy families, basic and financial literacy, transportation and access to health care for sustainability.

The driving force behind all this is EMPOWERMENT. We are all about giving people tools to help themselves break out of the cycle of generational poverty. It’s about DEVELOPMENT, not charity; DIGNITY, not shame. Believing all humans are created in the image of God, we will always promote the dignity and worth of people and families.

WASH DAY

We use Wash Day as a day to shower love and kindness onto the homeless and less fortunate population of North Rosenberg. We invite volunteers to come and prepare a home cooked meal, pray with, sit with and assist in washing linens, blankets and clothes for these individuals. All at no cost to them. We also provide clothes, personal hygiene items, toiletries, towels, and feminine items as we have them available. This is a great way to empower our homeless community and show them that they are loved! Click the button below to volunteer:
