OUR FIRST CLEANUP PROJECT
Our first
community cleanup.
For our first project as a nonprofit, we invited neighbors experiencing homelessness or hardship to earn money by helping clean up the surrounding area.
We provided bags and gloves, explained the work, and paid people for the trash they collected. Our goal was to offer a practical way to earn money while caring for the neighborhood. Each person’s time and effort mattered, and we wanted the way we worked together to reflect that.
Read the story and watch the full video from our first cleanup.

SHARING FOOD
A meal and
time to talk.
Our food outreaches begin with a meal and a willingness to spend time with people. We prepare food for neighbors experiencing homelessness or having a hard time making ends meet, with the hope of offering encouragement as well as something to eat.
We make room to listen, share conversation, and get to know the people we meet. Our faith in Jesus is what brings us here; showing His love through care and respect is the goal.

More to do.
More people to meet.
We want to keep serving food and try more projects that help people and the neighborhood. We will post plans here once they are confirmed.
