BRIDGE BUILDERS
|
We are an outreach ministry that meets the needs of hundreds of homeless people under the bridges in the city of Chicago. We provide food, clothing, hygiene packets and prayer.
We go out every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons into the streets to bring a meal of hope to the homeless. Over time we develop a relationship with the people we come across. Once a relationship is developed we are able to better meet the need of each individual. Most of the time they prefer prayer over a meal and an ear to listen to them.
Every year we host a beautiful Thanksgiving banquet for our homeless friends. We pick them up from all over Chicago and bring them to our facilities where we invite them to break bread with us. The location of the event is turned into what looks like a fancy gala. During this time we provide a grand meal, prayer, clothing and a bag full of goodies.
A majority of homeless people do not have any family and so our goal is that they would feel that we are their family through our acts of kindness and many visits to them on the streets.
Become a Bridge Builder by helping us to provide meals for our homeless friends. Some ideas of meals you can provide are pasta, sandwiches, Little Caesars Pizza, chicken, hot dogs etc.
