A journey through 2021 2021 was a year of transition for CUB; from a church with services for the unhoused to a Christ-centered, community-based non-profit serving the unhoused that includes their church. Look at what God did over the past two years…
More than 55,000 meals served from March to December 2020 to support the unsheltered unhoused during the onset of the pandemic; from 3 nights a week to 7 nights a week which continues to this day
More than 3,000 bags of clothing each year along with more than 6,000 support items (backpacks, shoes, coats, blankets, belts, hats, etc.) given out; supported community partners with cold weather items during emergency shelters in both years
Medical, dental and veterinary clinics held on a regular basis; mobile library with free books monthly
Worship and church services, bible studies, prayer on the street, and life skills restored
Our vision for 2022. We prayed for the provision to expand the territory God had given us. This would allow us to provide additional support services like showers, lockers, and washers and dryers to meet the daily needs of those without homes. In addition, we wanted to expand Christian education and life skills classes, assess and refer our guests to long-term care, open our computer lab and phone charging area, and restore outreach opportunities with our nonprofit partners in the community. Then came 2023...
Glory!!! We stepped into the new year blessed with the ability to steward an entire city block. From one building to five with plans to build an additional facility to house the showers, laundromat, and barbershop we prayed for currently being worked. We are excited about this new season and humbled that God assigned us to this new, expanded vision to support the people He so dearly loves. Some of this new vision has already been realized and other pieces are being ushered in incrementally. We now have programmed each facility for deliberate interventions and services; the "Communities" are developing each one using the gifts and skills given to them by God. There is a place for you! Come join the team!
We seek your support for our vision and we are grateful for whatever God directs you to give financially or offer practically. We serve Jehovah Jireh and we know He provides everything needed to fulfill His purpose. If you are moved by this vision, God may be beckoning you to be a part of its manifestation. We seek individuals to provide skilled labor, leaders to lend program development skills, servants to monitor upcoming services, teachers to teach, and givers to sow seed to build the facilities that are being designed. If you are touched by any part of this project, visit the contact page and tell us what gifts you would like to share with us!
