HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT OUTREACH
River of Life Christian Fellowship is committed to taking the love of God beyond the walls of the church and directly into our community.
Through our Homeless Encampment Outreach, we visit individuals experiencing homelessness and provide practical items such as blankets, personal-care supplies, and other necessities while offering encouragement, compassion, prayer, and the message of God's love.
Our desire is not only to meet practical needs, but also to remind every person we encounter that they are seen, valued, and loved.
Reaching our community with the demonstrated power of God's love.
