Christmas Meal
On January 21st, we’ll host a special Christmas dinner for our street friends. This event will provide a hot, nourishing meal and a welcoming atmosphere where they can feel valued and supported during a challenging time. It will also give our street friends time to escape the cold winter.
Many of our street friends, who face the challenges of homelessness and poverty daily, will spend the holiday season without the warmth of a home or the comfort of a festive meal. To bring a little joy and hope to their lives, we are once again organizing a Christmas meal event where we’ll provide a delicious and hearty meal to those in need. Give to our Christmas Campaign today!

Other ways to support
Meal Train
Help our street friends by providing them with a meal through our Meal Train program. You'll find opportunities to help provide sandwiches for our Street Outreach and Door Outreach and provide meals for our Innercity Arts program. You will also find all of our upcoming special meals that you can support by donating specific components. If you have questions about the meal, please email us.
Fill a cart
Every night our Street Outreach teams arrive at our building, fill their wagons and head off to meet up with their Street Friends, whose needs are basic but so very important to their survival. If you are looking for a group project or a unique way to help, a fill-a-cart project could be a great way to show you care - and you will know that every single item you collect will get to where it is needed most.
One wagon typically includes personal gear (lunch, water and juice, toiletries, Bibles, health care items), winterwear (socks, mitts, scarves, hats, hand warmers), blankets and/or sleeping bags, and backpacks.
OIM care kit program
Through our partnership with Kits For a Cause you can host your own kit packing event and pack Kits full of most needed supplies. This is the perfect option for school groups, corporate volunteers, faith-based organizations and groups of friends! This activity can be completely customized to whenever and wherever fits best for you.
