Reflect Christ’s Care for the Vulnerable
As Christians, we are called to serve those in need with love and compassion, just as Jesus taught in Matthew 25:35–40.
Creating and distributing HomeKits for the homeless is a meaningful and simple way to live out our faith. We can share God’s hope and provision with those facing homelessness—wherever life takes us.
How to Make and Share HomeKits
Focusing on essential supplies, easy storage, and quick assembly. The goal is to make it simple for individuals to prepare and distribute these kits while on the go or from home.
Stewardship & Compassion
Put together small, thoughtful HomeKits using gallon-sized bags or little pouches—keep them simple, sturdy, and filled with love and care.
Providing for Body & Soul
Include hygiene items, nourishing food, warm clothing, and first aid, along with a handwritten note or Scripture verse to offer encouragement.
Serving with Intentionality
Organize supplies efficiently, making the assembly process simple and joyful, remembering that small acts of kindness reflect God’s love.
Faith in Action
Keep kits in your car to distribute personally, donate to shelters, or invite family and friends to join in—turning this into a shared ministry.

Make your first kit
These packages can be conveniently stored in your car or home, allowing you to be proactive and prepared when you encounter someone in need. Often, we come across individuals facing homelessness, but we may not have the resources on hand to offer meaningful assistance. By preparing these packages in advance, we can ensure that we’re ready to provide the support they need when the opportunity arises.
