We have chosen to focus our outreach service in the areas that assist those experiencing homelessness. We started by looking at areas of great need that were unfulfilled in our area. That’s how our “Love Laundry” program came in to being. 

Love Laundry offers laundry services at a local laundromat to those experiencing homelessness. Tickets are provided through our partnership with the Opportunity Council. The program began in 2016 and has served hundreds of people.

Our most recent addition to our outreach efforts are two programs that reach to those in homeless camps and those isolated elsewhere. A team of bakers provide a personalized birthday cake to young adults who are homeless in an effort we call the “Cake Brigade.”

In addition, different bakers whip up batches of high protein, high fat cookies that are often the only meal many have in their day. These are the “Care Cookies” bakers.

And newest in our efforts are the cooks who provide hot meals that are packed into remote areas to not just feed folks but attempt to connect them to much needed services. “Bridges to Services” is our partner in this endeavor.

Bridge 2 Services is a mobile outreach program that bridges people to the organizations and services they need.   We provide encouragement and support, valuing and validating each person. Focusing on our unhoused neighbors, B2S locates individuals and families, understands needs, delivers basic triage supplies, and builds relationships to move toward longer term outcomes.   Simple actions like providing warm clothing, fresh water, food, and listening are the building blocks of a trusting relationship that can change lives.
