GOT SCRUBS???

Today we were contacted by a new female client who is currently at a domestic shelter, trying to get her life back together. She is a CNA and has a NEW JOB!!!
 
We are so excited for her but she is in need of uniforms (scrubs) in any color or style, size 2-3X top and L bottom. The cost for one uniform is about $30. If you would like to help, please let us know! We will pick up donated uniforms or you can make a monetary donation on our website and we will use 100% towards her uniforms if you put "CNA" in the memo.

Cries for help come in all different shapes and sizes...

Sometimes cries for help come in all different shapes and sizes.  This one came to us Saturday night while we were at Jacob's Well on a paper plate. 


Today we are just thankful for every way that people are able to reach out for help and am blessed by every single one that finds a way!

Don't forget to look for people that need you, their cry may not come in an obvious way.

Looking for a way to serve? We currently have several volunteer opportunities if you would like to come serve with our team!

Many of these opportunities can be done from your home and just require a phone and internet.  And you don't have to be local, you can serve from anywhere!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Other opportunities are directly serving our clients on the streets and throughout the city.  We have needs for single volunteers as well as class or group volunteer teams!

Homeless Fathers With Children

It's not often that we encounter a father with children on the streets but when we do it's heartbreaking. There are shelters for women + children but not men + children. We are searching for shelter for a dad and his 2 daughters, ages 2 & 7. 


Please join us in praying for this family as they will arrive in Memphis late tonight and they have nowhere to go as of tomorrow night. There is a long story but they are actually escaping a situation worse than being homeless. Thank you for your prayers and continued support!
