One Church has become one of Homes First’s most dedicated faith-based partners, showing what’s possible when community, compassion, and action come together.
Through their growing commitment to holiday giving and hands-on volunteerism, One Church continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness.
One Church is a key sponsor of Homes First’s end-of-year Holiday Gift Giving Program, helping ensure that every client across our network experiences the joy of the season.
Each year, over 2,500 Homes First clients receive a gift to open, creating moments of dignity, celebration, and connection during the holidays.
Their continued support plays an essential role in making this program possible year after year.
For the past two years, One Church has led the delivery of Care Kits—a growing initiative focused on meeting the immediate needs of our clients with essential hygiene items.
Each care kit includes essential hygiene products that support health, dignity, and well-being.
One Church’s impact goes beyond donations—it is rooted in community engagement and care.
Members of the congregation come together for a dedicated packing day, assembling care kits with intention and compassion. Each kit also includes a handwritten note, offering words of encouragement and connection to the individuals receiving them.
These personal touches create moments of human connection that extend far beyond the items themselves.
With each passing year, One Church’s partnership with Homes First continues to grow in both scale and impact. Their commitment reflects a deep dedication to supporting vulnerable communities and creating meaningful change.
We are grateful to continue building this partnership and expanding its reach in the years ahead.
One Church demonstrates the powerful role faith communities can play in supporting people experiencing homelessness.
If your group is looking to make a meaningful impact, we invite you to join us.
