Homeless Outreach

Homeless Outreach For Families

In America today we have families living on the streets. Married couples divorcing. Children running away, or living in the streets. Exegetical’s training seminars cover the following suggestions. There is much discussion during the clinics about each idea listed below. People want to help others. Uniting with other groups and working together with local officials is a win for everyone.

♦ Assistance and housing for at-risk families to recover from homelessness for up to 2 years.
♦ Education, job readiness, independent living and life skills are provided for adults.
♦ A variety of activities to meet the spiritual and emotional needs of the children.
♦ Matches families with church volunteer teams for added support.

* Volunteer to cook a meal a week.
* Volunteer to pick up free food from Grocery Stores
* Volunteer to work the Feed The Children Food Delivery Program
* Volunteer to gather in other churches to take part of the community event.
* Volunteer to set in place where families can come and listen to Christian music, play games, have a dinner

Volunteers must learn to look beyond the negatives of poverty. They soon realize these are real people with real needs. They begin with the basics, providing shelter, meals, and support services to homeless families. But many of them go on to do much more, utilizing Exegetical’s existing programs and net working to solve local problems. The ministries and out reach groups from all over the world are trained to duplicate this work.

Our training seminars help others with their visions. Discussions of transitional housing., tutoring children, driving those in need to health clinics, grocery shopping, school events and helping people to re-adjust in life.

People will need food, clothing, books, toys for the children. One has to imagine making a list to start out with everything you need in a home. Dishes, cleaning supplies, furniture and many other items most of us take for granite.

Christian Counseling is a very important service to offer. During the period of losing your home stress sets in. This causes many to do things they would never have done before. A good mentor, offering fellowship, love and compassion will go a long way to helping a family become complete again.
