Sometimes , what they want the most isn’t “material” things that we provide, but it is our ears that they need the most.
​On Saturday, July 13th, 2019, a group of ten volunteers distributed supplies to nine homeless people.  We provided canned food, women’s hygiene products, coffee, duct tape, exacto blades, batteries, water, ziplock bags, garbage bags, soap, chapstick, toothbrushes, matches, bandaids, reading glasses, toilet paper, and shaving cream.

On June 1, 2109, our team of eight volunteers distributed clothes, food, dog food, socks, band-aids, hand wipes, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, soap, toothbrushes, and batteries to eight homeless people.

Batteries, Hand wipes, and more

This outreach, we provided some of the same basic necessities that are usually needed. The most popular item was AA and AAA batteries. The homeless people usually run out of batteries the fastest because they use them to listen to the radio or other electronic devices.

field trip to aviation museum

On Saturday, April 13, 2019, we took the students to Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, California. This activity was a super fun way to learn about planes and spend time developing relationships with each other. Many thanks to Jack, Jason, Lotta, and Sierra for coming with us.

A notable quote from Kevin: "The museum just has the outdoor airplane for the 'likes.'"

a new semester of ministry

On Saturday, March 2, 2019, a team of 9 volunteers gathered to relaunch our homeless ministry in San Jose. This was our first time back since last year, and we got to reconnect with a lot of the same people we helped previously.

It was good reconnecting with people we haven't seen in a while, and we got to catch up with each other. It was a satisfying experience due to the fact that we have established real relationships with these people and were able to catch up like old friends.

​
We told them that we were going to be out more consistently and jotted down any items that they might need. We are also teaming up with another church called Christian Worship Center, as we have done before in the past, so things have been picked up where we left off.

Celebrating 20 Years

We are so grateful for everyone who has been serving by tutoring, mentoring, and discipling through the low-income tutoring ministry over the years. Last year, 2018, marked the 20th anniversary of when the first group of volunteers moved into different apartments (355 and 360) on O'Keefe Street back in 1998 and started hanging out with the kids.

There have been so many changes over the past 20 years, but God has remained faithful through it all. We are so grateful that he continues to draw people to the neighborhood and the tutoring program. We are praying for all of the volunteers and the families they touch!

back to school

This month school started back up, and so did our weekly tutoring program for the elementary and middle school students.
 
Please pray that we’ll have sufficient volunteers helping, especially with leading the middle school students. One of our key leaders departed after faithfully serving for the past few years.

field trip to Año Nuevo

On Saturday, September 29th, we took the students and their families on a field trip to Año Nuevo. This is one of the most awesome state parks in the Bay Area, featuring sea lions!

Summer Celebrations

The students are on summer break, but that doesn't keep us from wanting to spend time with them! On August 1st, we hosted a backyard barbecue with the tutors, the students, and their parents. It was also a great time to celebrate some special occasions for a few of our key volunteers—an upcoming wedding and a birthday!

End of School Year

​May 14, 2018, was our last day of tutoring for the school year. We hosted several celebrations for our students and appreciation parties for our volunteers.

We are so grateful to serve the community of East Palo Alto. The hard work that each volunteer did this school year and last summer made a huge impact. It was a blessing to work with them. 

New students and activities

This school year, we were blessed with an influx of new students and new tutors. In fact, the apartment has gotten so crowded that we’ve moved our 5th graders across the street with the middle school students. ​

We also arranged several fun activities for the students, especially around the holidays. We took a field trip to the Bethlehem experience and hosted a Christmas party with gifts.
