Our most recent needs list for our StreetWatch homeless street outreach ministry. We tell the people we see that if they need something we don’t have on the truck or van, we’ll write it down and post it, and if it gets donated, we’ll bring it to them. All of these people live outside in Greensboro. Can you help?

We always need canned food, bus passes, sleeping bags, blankets, tents, (new) socks. More here.

StreetWatch is all-volunteer. None of us are paid. All material donations go straight to the people who need and/or requested them. Financial donations are used to pay for things that we can’t get through donations. Thank you for your support of StreetWatch!

Note:  StreetWatch focuses on meeting immediate needs and really, just making friends and letting homeless people know someone cares, which is a big deal. (Also, we are not “paid to care”, which is meaningful to a lot of our homeless friends. I know this, because they mention it often.) We (and others) are looking for ways to get our friends off the street. But in the meantime, meeting immediate needs is important. We are very thankful for the donors who make it possible for us to do that. God bless you all!
