Our Journey

Our first event collected 1,500 lbs of food, which we donated to local food banks. Over the years, our impact has expanded significantly through partnerships with various churches and shelters, allowing us to provide direct, hands-on assistance to our unhoused neighbors.

  • We focused our early efforts on reaching people directly where they were on the streets, delivering food and hygiene products to those living in tents and on the sidewalks.

  • We elevated our efforts by organizing extensive Thanksgiving holiday events. These gatherings provide hot meals, live music, showers, haircuts, and a "shopping experience" where guests can select from clothing, blankets, hygiene products, and other essentials.
