Our Brown Bag Outreach isn’t exclusive just for us! We got our idea from the “Backpacks & Brown Bags” ministry of Necia Freeman. We want everyone to get involved with the needy in their local communities. A brown bag type of outreach is a perfect way to start, and also has the potential to grow into something big!

Our program is simple and straightforward enough to get anyone well on their way to helping their local homeless. Below, we will cover the basics from planning, shopping, and some tips for while you’re on your own route! There is also a set of downloadable resources that cover everything in our guide, including this guide itself!
