Homeless strike force

Every sunday for 3 years I run a homeless ministry.

I transport 15 to 30 homeless people to my church. Where I have a portable shower trailer with 4 showers set up.

The homeless go through a clothing tent, take a hot shower while I bbq whatever food I've bought for the day. Burgers or chicken ect.

They see a nurse and a free clinic if they need and I have a Barber who comes and volunteers.

Then everyone prays and is returned to where they were picked up.

Homeless pizza ministry

Every night for the last 3 years I've created and organized free pizza for homeless.

I used to pay out of pocket until the district manager figured out what I was doing.

He encouraged me to find a church that would provide me with a 501c and the pizza would all be a tax write off.

This is how I found the church that I'm a part of today.

I used to do the route 7 nights a week but just was too much for me.

So I started delegating nights to other church members.

I still do sat and Sundays.

We hand out 15 to 50 pizzas everynight.

The homeless that come Sundays for help at my homeless strikeforce and disabled or with young children are first on the route.
