Why Homeless & Hungry?

One of the main reasons H&H was created was to expose mission work possibilities in our own backyard. One of the criticisms of mission trips and events has been that we are quick to serve people in places different than our own but seldom take care of those in our own communities. Because of this, H&H was birthed. At the core, this youth-driven event encouraged participants to step into the shoes of a homeless person – so they would go without food or shelter for 30 hours. The only shelter they are allowed to have is that of a cardboard box. There would be no luxury items – no pillows, no electronic devices, no toothbrushes, no deodorant, and no food.

Homeless & Hungry is attempting to take this community by storm. All churches, schools, businesses, & individuals are encouraged to participate in this monumental undertaking. H&H is not about denominations, specific organizations, or individuals. This event is about THE CHURCH coming together to help "the least of these." If we don't stand up to make a difference and change this world, then who will?
