Outreach Highlights: The Homeless Outreach

Hands4Hope hosted its quarterly Homeless Outreach at Sacramento Loaves & Fishes on Friday, November 10th. Lead by several Homeless Committee members, the youth and adult volunteers assembled over 400 sack lunches at the Hands4Hope Youth Center, from making ham and cheese sandwiches to bagging homemade brownies and cookies.

Once at Loaves & Fishes, the volunteers set up tables outside with the lunches, condiments, fresh fruit, and toiletries for attendees to choose from. The event ran from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, roughly, and while there was a downpour of rain, the volunteers held strong and served all who visited Loaves & Fishes during that time, knowing they would soon get to go home and change while the homeless would be stuck in cold and wet. The Homeless Outreaches are held every three months, and are open to all ages.
