BE THE NEIGHBOR
We were blessed with the opportunity to share Bob’s Bags ministry with two groups from Be The Neighbor. Check them out at betheneighbor.org
Be The Neighbor is a justice-based service-learning trip ministry that equips people to live lives of love, service, and justice. They visualize a world where through love of neighbor justice is realized, people flourish, and communities are made whole.
Both groups were energetic, fun, and eager to help. We shared about the plight of our homeless brothers and sisters. They helped us by assembling and filling bags and more. It was a great time!

We especially need gently worn shoes suitable for outdoor in all sizes. Belts, bras, shorts, and caps are also in short supply.
We always need men’s and ladies’ pants and shirts.
We will gladly accept coats, sweaters, hoodies, gloves, hats, sleeping bags, and blankets in advance of cold weather.
Your continued financial support will help us continue this ministry.
Thanks to all of our volunteers and supporters!
