Check out our needed items lists below. Maybe your church, sunday school class, vacation Bible School or family would like to hold a drive to collect items. We have a trailer and can come pick up a big load!!

The following items are reguraly needed to stock our ministry trailer.

1. King James Version Bibles and New Testaments for distributing to the homeless (especially giant print)
2. New men's socks, undershirts, toboggans and gloves
3. New personal hyegeine items for men
4. McDonalds gift cards and phone cards (for giving to the homeless)

*Special needs*

1. We need a couple of small tents. The tents will be used when we serve meals out in the streets. We really need the ones that can have sides added to them.

2. Winter coats and blankets are the big items right now. The more we can collect, the more we can distribute!

3. We are purchasing birth certificates for people who do not have a certified copy. They cost about $35.50 each. Cash donations can be given and designated for this regular need.

4. Resume paper. We make resumes' for the homeless and are in need of the nice paper.

5. We need a few propane tanks. (The bbq grill size) These will be used for heat outside in the winter.

6. We need about five more heaters that attach to the top of propane tanks. They can be purchased at Lowes for $43 (single) or $89 (double).

7. We need five round igloo coolers. The type that you would put tea in that has the spout at the bottom. I think they are about five gallons.

Very often, we will make up "gift bags" to be distributed to the homeless. These are gallon size ziploc bags filled with items that the homeless people can use. It is a quick and easy way to help someone with an immediate need as we share the gospel with them.
