Church on the Street Kits
Church on the Street is a faith community with people experiencing poverty and homelessness. We build relationships as Jesus did through listening, being present and consistent, and showing compassion to all of God’s people, housed or unhoused.
Although we are not a distribution ministry, we encounter people daily who need the basics. Thankfully, many have asked us how their group can help. Partner with us by signing up to worship with us or host a Laundry with Love - providing ministry support, a meal, and many other gifts in worship. Here are some options if you choose to do an in-house service project. Because storage space is limited, contact us to see our current needs or consider donating the funds to create the kit when right.
