The following would be very welcome: BlanketsClothing from ages 12 upwards (we are in touch with homeless men up to the age of 65) - Please NO torn or broken items.Shoes from sizes 5 - 10 (there is a great need for these but please NO shoes with holes...they already have those!)

Examples: Rolls & viennas, peanut butter sandwiches, other sandwiches, oranges, apples. (Any luxuries once in a while blesses the kids too.) Your time to come and share with the homeless together with a team of volunteers. Please note that the items listed above do not have to be new, but need to be in good repair. If you make up a parcel, please label it with the contents, amounts and sizes. You could consider making it a project within a group of your friends (possibly a cell group, a book club, a sports team etc.) to organise parcels together. Groups and Companies could also get involved in the following ways: - Sponsoring a partial or full soccer kit with your branding. This is a great initiative because the guys are very passionate about soccer and this will keep them off the streets a lot more. Team sport gives them a sense of a purpose and belonging.
- Sponsoring one or more person to get back into schools and safe-houses or to sponsor one specific person in their individual needs and goals.
- Sponsoring Food
- Providing Training or Employment Opportunities
- Or let us know any other ways you would like to be involved
