Deacon Frank's Operation Nightwatch Fundraiser!
A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
Operation NightwatchI am raising funds for Nightwatch because I care about people experiencing homelessness.
$5,100
raised by 8 people
$5,000 goal
I've been a volunteer street chaplain with Nightwatch since 2012, and currently serve as executive director. I've met thousands of beautiful souls over the years, and am grateful for the loving mission of Operation Nightwatch. Each year, we serve more than 5,000 different people through an array of ministries.
After other human services offices have closed for the day, we remain open, providing evening and late-night options for food and shelter.
Here's how we help:
Street Ministry -- Nightwatch street ministers and committed volunteers provide food and friendship to people experiencing homelessness. Street teams provide a wide range of services, including ID replacement, bus tickets home, information and referrals. Socks, blankets, food and water are distributed as well.
Food -- Every night at 8 pm, Nightwatch volunteers prepare and serve a hot, indoor meal for about 150 people.
Shelter -- Nightwatch provides emergency shelter for both men and women; 20 beds for men and 20 for women, every night of the year.
Senior Housing -- Permanent affordable housing is provided for 24 formerly-homeless seniors in a dorm-style setting, with shared kitchens and bathrooms. Our Housing Coordinator helps to keep our seniors safe and housed by providing meals, friendship, and support.
Case management -- Our Case Manager helps our shelter guests find and connect with resources like jobs and housing.
Medical -- Our free medical clinic volunteers provide basic care & referrals for our meal and shelter guests.
Volunteers -- Nightwatch cannot function without volunteers. Volunteers help with nightly feeding, street outreach, mentoring, office support, baking, and numerous other ways. Check our website for more info.
Nightwatch provides food, shelter, housing, and hope. Please join us.
