UMBC’s DEACON MINISTRY’S HOMELESS OUTREACH serves to meeting immediate needs by distributing vital supplies such as meals, clothing, and toiletries, to survive on the streets. We build trust and relationships by creating a safe, non-judgmental environment showing compassion to those who feel neglected by society. We spread Spiritual connection by sharing the gospel, offering prayer, and providing spiritual material to help those seeking hope and we mobilize the congregation to volunteer, which builds fellowship, humility, and active empathy within the church body itself. Acts:20:35 states “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. We are planning our 4th Annual Homeless Outreach and need your help. A BLESSING BOX will be stationed in the Lobby beginning June 7th - July 5th. We are asking you to place in it, items you want to give. Suggested items: Socks, toiletries (deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, travel tissues, feminine care, wet wipes), snacks, and bottled water. We will distribute these items on Saturday, July 11th. You’re invited to serve with us. A meeting time on July 11th will be announced soon.
