“Feed, Heal, Shelter”
Our name is our mission: To feed, heal, and shelter whoever is in need.
The ultimate purpose of “Feed, Heal, Shelter” is to eradicate homelessness everywhere possible. (We prefer to use the terms "houseless" and "houselessness" in place of "homeless" and "homelessness," which you will see as you continue to read our blog.)
To this end, every step and activity of “Feed, Heal, Shelter” must be in keeping with our God-impelled conviction that houselessness can be seriously reduced and eventually eradicated by being centered in healing, promoting spiritual growth and unconditional love, by creating community awareness and involvement, and making every possible effort to offer shelter and help to the houseless anywhere.
Our programs accomplish our purpose in these specific ways: Along with our prayers, which combine firm faith with spiritual understanding, we furnish such physical necessities as food, clothing, and shelter. We also try to provide other forms of appropriate help and guidance, and specially jobs, to both the currently houseless and to those heading toward houselessness.
Our aim is to be a supportive, legal, faith-based umbrella organization for those who conscientiously desire to participate, start, or continue, any program that will help end houselessness. Our four main points are that the program: (1) is at some level sustainable, (2) helps rather than pollutes the environment, (3) does not include industries that support cruelty to animals, and (4) does not conflict with the Bylaws of “Feed, Heal, Shelter.”
Currently we're accomplishing our mission in Culver City, Palms (West Los Angeles), and Inglewood. Later we will branch out as possible into other nearby areas in need.
As a faith-based organization, we provide guidance for life and healing by sharing the spiritual meaning of The Bible. We focus on the four Gospels, which describe the consecrated to good life, teachings, brotherly love, and healing works of Christ Jesus.
Our God-given mission of healing all ills, whether they be relationship problems, sickness and disease, poverty, depression, addiction—anything that threatens the well-being and freedom of those who seek our help—is based solely on Christ Jesus’ words and healing works along with the writings and healing works of Mary Baker Eddy, our favorite theologian and Founder of the Science of the Laws of God and the Christ which she named “Christian Science”. In addition, in all our communications and outreach to the public, we share comforting and inspiring ideas of spiritually-minded thinkers, writers, and humanitarians throughout the ages, no matter what their faith background is.
One way we accomplish these goals is by working side by side with sister not-for-profit organizations. For example, in recent years here is California, we have teamed up with the Midnight Mission, donating loaves of bread to their feeding program on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles; the New Life Society, donating fruit and vegetables to its “Feed the Hungry” program in Venice; the Inglewood Senior Center, donating bread, and the family shelter in Inglewood donating clothing, books and toys.
“We are Uno,” our four-year-old recycling program in which we partner with businesses and households, not only reduces garbage in local landfills but also contributes to resource renewal and a waste-free ethic in the community.
Though we haven't yet had the opportunity to provide housing, we are working our way toward fulfilling the "sheltering" aspect of our mission by praying consistently—both with the houseless on a one-to-one basis as well as broadly for the community about the issues of houselessness and related challenges.
“Feed, Heal, Shelter” Is A Faith-Based Non-for-profit Organization To Help Humanity And The Communities For A Better Environment.
