A TESTIMONY: "You don't see past us when we're on street corners begging for help. I've seen these bags around the city. Some of the homeless people I know have them. Thank your church for doing this." —Chief (fierce advocate for the homeless in Ann Arbor)
OUR STORY: Keeping clean is an important part of remaining healthy, but people who are homeless often struggle to afford necessary supplies.
We distribute “care kits” throughout the year. The kits include toiletries, bottles of water, non-perishable snacks; and items for the winter like hand/foot warmers, wool socks, gloves, and hats.
HOW YOUR MONEY IS SPENT: Your donation of $50 provides a care kit (drawstring cloth bag) to one of our homeless brothers or sisters.
You can use the "Quantity" field to indicate how much you would like to donate from $1.00-$500.
Please note that a payment transaction fee (2.9% of the amount donated, plus $.30) is included to process your donation. The transaction fee will be deducted from your donation.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MAKING A DONATION!

HOW OUR FAITH COMMUNITY HAS BENEFITED FROM THIS MINISTRY: Members of the Society for Creative Anachronism are generously supporting this ministry by helping to put together 150 hygiene care kits, and in true form, bartered — to use the church building for their meetings and practice sessions. This, at first glance, might appear to be an unusual partnership on our part. But, it serves to open the doors of the church up more to the whole community where the church lives.
We're becoming more of a place where diverse groups can gather. It lets people see who the "Church" really is? And, just possibly — it opens our faith community up to a broader community of believers. We are led by the one who used a basin and towel and washed his followers' feet.
