Showing consistency is important when your involved in the lives of others. Our Wednesday crew has not missed 1 single Wednesday in the 5 years they have been serving. Their volunteers have increased, (look at their smiles!) and so has their followers. They are serving an average of 250 sandwiches, snacks and water a week.

I want to tell you about Nessa.. She has joined our Wednesday crew by bringing clothing every week for our friends on the street. We give her all of our clothing donations to pass on to those in need. BUT when we run low, Nessa uses her own money and shops all the thrift stores buying pieces she knows are needed for her regulars that come see her weekly. She even spends the time to wash them because everyone should be able to feel good in fresh clothing. We are so proud to have her as part of our Saints Alive team

These amazing volunteers Mike Korting and Gary Euton from Amvets 1928 were out serving with us 2 weeks ago. They brought awesome personal care bags designed for women and men. Below in the pictures, the smiling gentleman is a veteran in need of help and received a personal care duffle bag, donated by the Disabled American Veterans Organization. Thank you for your service gentlemen!

Now, if life couldn't get any better, we want to thank our local Save a Lot for working with our weekly sandwich crew. We would spend days every week going from store to store to find baloney, cheese, bread etc.. for the sandwich crew to build 200 sandwiches. Save a Lot has offered to have all the supplies ready for us every single week. We just need to pick it up!!

We want to give a huge THANK YOU to the Sons of Amvets 1928. They have become amazing advocates for Saints Alive and last week presented us with a beautiful check. Because of these wonderful men, we are able to purchase tents, tarps and supplies for our friends in need.

Our Wednesday crew has been going out every week without fail. It has become a family event with the little ones wanting to come along to help others in need. They are serving an average of 300 sandwiches, snacks and drinks to about 150 people EVERY week. They have their following and they are usually waiting for them to arrive. This team is all members of Amvets 1928. Thank you for serving our country and now serving our friends on the street.

Good morning! Life is wonderful and God is so good!!❤️ We have been blessed to partner up with Holy Family on a few events through this holiday season. Together We served a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner with all the delicious sides. It was great seeing everyone, our old crew of volunteers, our friends on the street and all the new ones who came to help.

Holy Family and Saints Alive are looking forward to spreading a little more cheer this season. On December 20th we will be serving a Christmas breakfast with eggs, sausage, biscuits and biscuit gravy along with coffee, juice and milk. Everyone will also get a Christmas gift to take home. GOD is so good to us, let’s follow His lead and be good to each other.

A couple of months ago someone broke into our humble place of work. They did no damage or stole anything, I think they were looking for money. But, the sliding door on the front of the building was old and not secure and that is how they got in.

We reached out to Columbus Door and told them of our situation and they were more than happy to donate a new French door and install it all free of charge! So, if you need a new door, whatever kind, please check out Columbus Door before you make a decision. Tell Dean Monnin that Saints Alive on the Westside sent you!

Thank you Columbus Door!

We want to thank the PRAIRIE TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT for the amazing donation of frozen food, condiments, bread, ice and more that was left over from their AMAZING FISH FRY! Thank you so much for thinking of Saints Alive. Because of you, so many of our westside people in need had full bellies when they settled down for the evening. Thank you again for your generosity! 💚
