Blessing Packages
What are we doing?
Gathering new store bought toiletry items, snack foods, and packaging materials for the purpose of creating Blessing Packages for homeless individuals and families in the streets and shelters. The packages will be distributed and hand delivered to the homeless in the streets and those staying in the shelter.
Why are we doing this?
This campaign is combating the effects of homelessness. It provides individuals with items that they need and are able to enjoy during their time of hardship. The purpose of the Blessing Package is aimed to meet the personal hygiene needs of the individual and provide nourishing snacks. Also, through this package we are able to share the love of JESUS CHRIST, bring joy, peace and hope as we let the individual know they are of value and worth. Include a scripture in the bag or a little note of encouragement.
Who can do it?
People of all ages may participate in the campaign; however during the distribution phase of the outreach children and teenagers should be supervised by an adult. Precautions should be taken by the leader as they distribute packages in the streets as to ensure the safety of all members of the missions group.
How can it be done?
1. This campaign can be initiated in any organization and/or community.
2. The petition can be made among these people within any organization and community in order to gather new store bought items for packaging and distribution of packages to the homeless and families on the street and those staying in shelters.
3. The missions leader will need to establish contact with the Director of a local shelter in the region to set up distribution date. In addition: the missions leader has the option to identify areas of their city where the homeless populate the streets. These areas would be ideal in locating individuals in need.
Where can it be done?
This campaign can be initiated and launched in any region and location where there is an evident poverty and homelessness in the street.
When can it be done?
This campaign can be done throughout the year. Homeless people need love all year long, just like you and I.
