Various Homeless Outreach Initiatives

Homeless Outreach has recently learned of at least five different groups working among the homeless  in Fort Wayne at night. This past Wednesday, 30 people from three different church groups were all out at the same time. They distributed coats/backpacks/food/hygiene.

Homeless Outreach is looking for a storage area downtown where all the groups could leave their goods, and distribute when available.

St. John’s Lutheran has begun opening a home it owns every Friday night from 6 to 9 PM, to serve coffee to the homeless.
