Belonging Ministries

The Regional Homeless Alliance—a network of local cities and organizations—has been working hard to help individuals and families transition from the streets into permanent housing. Recently, 19 individuals were moved into housing, with 20 more expected soon!

One of the organizations helping with this effort, Belonging Ministries, is collecting essential household items. With hundreds of items needed, they’ve made it simple for us to participate. Check out the “Wish List” links below to see whats needed. Anything purchased online will be shipped directly to Belonging Ministries.

This is a wonderful way to come alongside our neighbors, showing the love of Christ in a tangible way and helping each person feel that they truly belong.

Thank you so much for prayerfully considering how you can give and serve in this effort!
