Owensboro’s Mobile Outreach
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” – Matthew 25:40
We collect essential provisions—like nonperishable food—and hand them directly to those in need, meeting them where they are. Our outreach happens on the last Saturday of every month at places like the Cadillac Motel and English Park. Many of the people we serve are experiencing homelessness.
Everything we offer is free. No forms, no proof of income—just people loving on people.
Our mission isn’t about recognition. It’s about humbly serving as vessels of God’s love and provision.
We receive no formal funding and rely entirely on the generosity of others. Donations can be dropped off at 5010 Wildcat Way, Monday through Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. While all nonperishables are welcome, the following items are especially needed:
-
Canned Tuna and Chicken
-
Ready-To-Eat Soups and Chef Boyardee
-
Beef Stew and Spam
-
Peanut Butter
-
Canned Vegetables
- Single-Serve Cereal
Pull-tab cans are ideal, but we also distribute can openers when needed.
Since the recent displacement of Tent City residents, the following items are in particularly high demand:
-
2–3 Person Tents
-
Tarps and Duct Tape
To ship directly, you can send items via Amazon to:

Summary: This isn’t a report like I would usually give about our outreach; it’s a confession. I take you inside my struggle with showing up and staying present in Tent City. And then let's walk together, visually, into areas I rarely visit. Read Time: Approximately...
