Cityteam Ministries

City team ministry has a heart for the community in which it serves. If You want to give back this is a wonderful ministry to get involved with

After having volunteered for last night’s dinner service I can say they have a pretty well run organization for feeding the homeless and down and out. Dinner was mashed potatoes (including the skins) with a chili mixture topping served with salad. Before dinner they had some musical entertainment and sung some Christian songs. A couple of prayers were thrown in., Also there was a analysis of some scriptures from the bible involving the good samaritan. The mashed potatoes were almost totally consumed and the chili was tasty (I sneaked a sample after everyone was served). The salad was appealing and healthy looking.
It’s nice to volunteer and serve the community.
3 stars for the food. I was surprised by the quality !

I really think CityTeam is a great place to volunteer. It is a Christian based organization and often collaborates with churches throughout the city. Its foundation is in Christ, the gospel, and loooooooove. I spent one Sat. morning passing out «Bags of Love» (a P&J sandwich, shampoo, toothbrush, etc.) for a short-​stay hotel up the street. The tenants I came across really rocked my self-​indulged, sheltered, and naïve self. There are soooo many people in need of help… and they don’t even know it.
The organization is really well-​maintained. The folks heading it up are really easy to get along with. They’re willing to share their experiences and warn you of what might come up (i.e. seeing folks shooting up heroin). They want you to be prepared as much as you can be before volunteering.
As I was waiting for my ride (better to get dropped off because parking is horrendous around here) I witness their weekly meal distribution. I think a lot of the homeless were happy to be there. They got free free and an escape from the cold for one Sat afternoon. I truly believe that makes a difference in their lives.
Anyway, try it out!
