Get Clean Bags

In 2024, Redeemer Anglican and Into The Neighborhood partnered together to assemble 300+ Get Clean Bags! Join us this year, too!

Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Matthew 25:34-40 ESV

A few pictures from our delivery last year. What’s not pictured, to protect dignity, were the tears that were shed because these precious image-bearers felt seen, loved and remembered the week of Christmas!

Thanks so much for your partnership in the Kingdom of God!
