Sharing Warmth, One Person at a Time

Poverty Relief Partners is preparing our annual “God Loves U” beanies and gloves for distribution through our community partners. They will share them one person at a time with people experiencing homelessness, taking time to listen, connect, and pray with those who welcome prayer. We hope each gift brings warmth and reminds someone that they are seen, heard, and cared for.

Poverty Relief Partners is pleased to support the Recovery Church at The Salvation Army Richmond Community Church. Its Sunday evening gatherings bring people navigating addiction together for a hot dinner, conversation, and a caring community. We find this combination of practical help and ongoing support meaningful, and have donated $1,800 toward food for the dinners. We hope each meal helps guests feel welcomed and supported as they move toward recovery. Learn more about the Recovery Church

Our marginalized neighbors are in urgent need of warm clothing and blankets as the cold months approach. Providing these essentials can make a world of difference in their comfort and survival. Please consider donating to help keep them warm and safe. Your generosity can offer hope and warmth to those who need it most. Thank you for your kindness and support.

Our Clothing Ministry team delivers donated items to Church on Five Community Meal weekly, to the Caring Place next to the Salvation Army Feeding Truck four evenings a week, and to East Hastings once a month.

“We exercise our gift in grace because we received our gift by grace.”

Updates on our work

During the year, our outreach partners are happy to witness the drug addicts and alcoholics have received detox/rehab treatments and on the way to live a normal life.
