Sharing hope with people without a home

Each parish is encouraged to consider how it can help to overcome homelessness at a local level between Harvest and Christmas.

With both seasons being special times for thanksgiving and generosity, the Church and Society Commission’s two–page flyer – Sharing hope with people without a home – is a timely guide to actions that can be undertaken locally.

Above all else, the resource encourages each person experiencing homelessness to be valued as someone who is unique, facing unique challenges and deserving compassion and respect. Welcoming people into warm spaces, sharing fruit and vegetables with families with nutritional needs, and small acts of neighbourly love to help people feel at ease at home are among the suggestions.
