There’s three incredible ways you can get involved this year
for our annual Salvation Army outreach!

You can pack a backpack, donate clothing, or go with us to deliver the backpacks and clothing to the Salvation Army Men’s Hospitality House in Santa Ana on Saturday, Dec 21st. Read below for all the information.

— BACKPACK OUTREACH —

The first way to get involved is to pick up an empty backpack at church on Sunday, December 1st. Take this empty backpack home, along with a provided list of suggested items to purchase, and fill it up! You’ll return this backpack to the church anytime before Thursday, Dec 19th. In case you lost or didn’t receive a suggested list of items, they are listed below for your convenience.

— MEN’S CLOTHING DRIVE —

Alongside the backpacks, we are also collecting men’s clothing. The Hospitality House is a year-round emergency shelter for men. They provide many vital services necessary to get these men back on their feet including daily meals and employment assistance. They could really use our help in collecting clothing for the men and it costs you nothing! All it takes is going through your closets at home and bringing to church any men’s clothing you would be willing to part with.

Most of the time, we have clothing in our closets we never wear or forgot we even had. This clothing could go to really good use by these men. Any and all men’s clothing is wanted. Please do not wash or fold the clothing as the Hospitality House will be doing this regardless of their condition.

— BACKPACK & CLOTHING DELIVERY —

We will be delivering the donated clothing and packed backpacks on Saturday, December 19th. We will meet at the church at 2:30pm and leave shortly after that. We would not suggest bringing any children under the age of 13 years. We cannot guarantee any level of safety to anyone going. After delivering the backpacks to the Hospitality House and arriving back at the church, this event should go no later than 5:30pm.
