IT TAKES A VILLAGE

NO ONE CAN DO EVERYTHING

But everyone can do something. When considering helping the homeless and indigent it can seem daunting. Sometimes it feels like all we do to help these people is just a drop in the bucket. Anyone who has ever had a leaky roof knows that one drop adds up quickly. When we all give a little it makes all the difference in the world. Below are some ways to help some are big and some are small but all are needed.

Flipping The Table

Partner with us to feed the hungry. We are so blessed to receive an abundance of ingredients to help us serve our street friends warm meals. Rhute family, We Need YOU! We are asking volunteers who are willing to join our new program, Flip The Table. The purpose of this program is to feed the hungry. We want to feed whoever is in need of a meal. We are asking YOU, volunteers to come to our grateful haven, pick up ingredients and prepare meals for our street friends. Join us in loving our neighbors through meals made with love. Thank you!

“Earthly food spoils and ruins. So don’t work to get that kind of food. But work to get the food that stays good always and gives you eternal life. The Son of Man will give you that food. God the Father has shown that he is with the Son of Man.” John 6:27
