Angel Resource Connection Angel Resource Connection 501(c)3 provides food, clothing, and housing, to the homeless & their pets. Our moving forward program is changing lives!

Angel Resource Connection provides meals, clothing, and housing assistance for the homeless. ARC prepares nutritious meals and supplies winter survival clothes and sleeping bags to help people avoid hypothermia. We also help individuals get their life back by restoring their lost ID and vital documents so they can secure housing and a job. ARC has taken ending homelessness a step further by helping people to become homeowners! We purchase nice, well maintained travel trailers and give the title directly to individuals. We first make sure the trailer can be legally parked with full utilities, then we search to buy the right size trailer to fit their family size needs.

❤️ Ten Winters of Showing Up

Angel Resource Connection has entered its 10th winter of serving our unhoused neighbors.

Ten winters of warm meals, sleeping bags, coats, hats, gloves, clean socks, and small acts of kindness that can mean so much when life has become so difficult.

And after all these years, one thing remains unchanged: our belief that every human life matters, and that what we do for one another matters, too.

As the cold settles in once again, we’re stocking up on sleeping bags, warm clothing, and winter essentials.

Behind the scenes, we’re washing clothing at the laundromat, sorting supplies, cleaning out our outreach van, and preparing for another season of weekly outreach.

We know we cannot change every circumstance. But we can change a moment in someone’s day, help someone through a cold night, and remind another human being that their life is worth caring about.

As we continue stocking up for the cold months ahead, donations toward sleeping bags, warm clothing, and winter essentials are deeply appreciated. Every gift helps us extend a little more warmth to someone who needs it.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us keep showing up, year after year.

100% of every donation goes directly toward helping those we serve.

Our Paths Cross Again

I called out to ask if she needed any help, and when she turned toward me, my heart leaped.

I knew her.

During COVID, I had come to know and love this woman while she was living on the streets. I remember helping her with an extended motel stay, hygiene supplies, and a little time to rest from the daily hardships of living outdoors.

And suddenly, here she was again, after all these years.

My heart held both sadness and joy: sadness to see that she was living on the streets, and gratitude to see her alive.

Life on the streets can be terribly hard on a person. Over the years, there have been people I’ve come to care about whose paths no longer cross mine. I sometimes wonder where life has taken them, how they are doing, and whether they are still somewhere in this world.

She recognized me and seemed just as happy to see me. We shared a long, warm hug.

There was an immediate trust between us, and she knew I might have some of the things she needed: sleeping bags, warm socks, and shoes.

There was something deeply touching about finding each other again, unexpectedly, in the middle of an ordinary outreach day.

I pray that the days and years ahead bring her a safe place to rest, the comfort of shelter, and the kindness every human being deserves.

But today, our paths crossed again.
I’m so glad they did.

“It’s Only October, and It Already Feels Like Winter.”

This is what a woman pushing a cart filled with everything she owns told me today.

She had been caught in the rain that morning. And as we talked about the cold, we both knew winter was only beginning.

I told her about the Lighthouse Mission Base Camp in Bellingham, where people experiencing homelessness can find warmth, meals, showers, laundry, clothing, and support toward finding housing. www.thelighthousemission.org

More than anything, I wanted her to know there was somewhere she could turn. A place where she could be welcomed with dignity, kindness, and people willing to help.

There are so many people living this way, carrying the weight of circumstances we may never fully understand.

Sometimes compassion begins with simply stopping, listening, and asking, “How can we help?”  I offered food and a sleeping bag.

Winter is coming. For those living on the streets, the cold is already here.

What the Streets Take

I have met many people living outside, but rarely have I seen someone so deeply worn down. When we met this man, the toll of life on the streets was heartbreaking.

We offered him clothes, a sleeping bag, food, and socks. These are things most of us can reach for without thinking. When you live outside, they can mean something to eat, dry feet, and a little protection through another cold night.

I keep thinking about him. About how much a person can endure, and how much it takes to keep going when there is nowhere to truly rest.

We cannot undo everything he has suffered. But we can stop, see him, and offer what we have. His life matters, even when the world keeps walking past.

Happy Feet, Happy Man

Yesterday we met a man living on the street who needed shoes that could keep his feet warm and dry through the rain and cold.

We were able to get him a pair of warm winter shoes, along with a pair of pants and a sleeping bag.

What stayed with me was the change that happened while we were there. As we spent time with him, helped him with the shoes, and gave him our attention, his whole demeanor softened. He smiled, looked down at his new shoes and said, “Happy feet, happy man.”

Warm, dry feet matter. A sleeping bag matters. A clean pair of pants matters. Being seen and cared for matters. 💕

Today we had the chance to bring hundreds of hygiene items, 150 Bomba socks, along with food and other supplies, to Hope ‘N Wellness 4330 Rucker Ave Everett.

This little place matters.

I was told they had recently run out of all hygiene items had no idea where they were going to get new supplies. So she said a prayer. Today her prayer was answered.

With changes like the no sit/no lie laws over the past few years, there are fewer and fewer places where a person experiencing homelessness can simply come inside, sit down for a while, have something to eat, pick up needed supplies, and be treated like a human being.

Jasmine has somehow continued to hold this place together year after year — finding funding, finding resources, and finding a way to keep the doors open when so many places like this have disappeared.

I have a lot of respect for her and that kind of perseverance.

Sometimes helping a community looks very ordinary: soap, hygiene supplies, food, a chair, a safe place to sit, and someone willing to keep showing up.

Today was one of those days.

One Person. One Sleeping Bag matters. 💙

This morning, we received a message from someone living in his car.

The nights have turned cold, and he said he was freezing. He asked if we could help with a warm sleeping bag.

We met him at the entrance of Walmart on this cold, windy, rainy day and let him choose the one that felt right to him.

He chose this one. Soft, flannel-lined, a little heavier and more like a warm blanket than traditional camping gear. Something that felt comfortable.

Sometimes helping really is this simple.

Someone says, I’m cold.

Someone else says, Let’s get you warm.

One person. One sleeping bag.

And yes, it counts.

Because tonight, there is one person who will be warmer than he was last night. ❤️

We stop for signs.

Imagine sitting outside a grocery store while people walk past carrying bags of food and everything they came there to buy.

And you are sitting just outside those doors, hungry, with only a piece of cardboard between your need and the people passing by.

HUNGRY. PLZ HELP.

There is a deep humility in asking that openly.

To make your need visible to strangers.
To let people see that you cannot meet this need alone today.

There is nothing left to hide behind.

Only the hope that another human being will respond with mercy.

Maybe that is part of what a sign is asking of us. Not simply for food or money, but for a moment of shared humanity.

There is always room for discernment, but not at the cost of our humanity.

So we stop.

We ask, What do you need? How can we help?

Today, that question opened a conversation about hunger and how difficult the systems meant to help people can be to navigate.

But underneath all of it was something simpler.

He was hungry.

Sometimes compassion begins there.

I see you.

Today, while we were handing out food, I met a poet.

He has lost both of his legs and walks on prosthetics. He is living without a home.

What he wanted to share was a poem.

“We’re not sure how we really ended up here. We didn’t seem to have a choice. But now that we’re here, we should certainly be giving thanks that we are not all alone in it.

You are my witness.”

Those last four words stayed with me.

You are my witness.

Sometimes being seen matters more than we know.

Today, I was his witness.

And now, maybe you are too.

Today, we were reminded how complicated life can become when someone is hanging on by a thread.

Meeting people where they are. Treating them with dignity. Offering something good without asking them to explain their whole life first.

Sandwiches made with care. Fresh fruit. Water. Something sweet. Something salty. A few minutes of conversation in the sunshine.

Just an ordinary meal, carrying a little more than food.

Placed into someone’s hands with the quiet message: you matter, and you deserve to be cared for.

Some days, love looks remarkably ordinary.

Today it looked like lunch. ❤️

Your donations make a difference.
