Best Charity Oceanside Near Me

4worldlovers: For 821 million people, being hungry means more than missing a meal. Hunger robs them from living full, productive lives. It is a global crisis where one in nine people go to bed hungry. Malnutrition hits children the hardest. Children who do not receive proper nutrition before the age of five are physically and cognitively stunted meaning their bodies and brains are kept from developing to their full God-given potential.

Outside the Bowl’s vision is a world in which all children are physically and spiritually nourished. OTB is accomplishing this through an innovative approach that essentially manufactures hot, nutritious meals in industrial kitchens. Outside the Bowl's Super Kitchens can cook thousands of meals a day which are delivered to ministries throughout urban areas in Haiti, Mexico, and South Africa. These meals allow ministries to effectively, efficiently, and sustainably feed the most vulnerable in their communities. As physical hunger is alleviated, hearts become open to hearing the good news of Jesus.

4worldlovers: Your donation to The Brother Benno Foundation will make a life-supporting difference for the most vulnerable in North San Diego County. Whether it’s a one-time contribution or a recurring monthly gift, you make our services and programs possible.

The mission statement of the Brother Benno Foundation is that it is our purpose or mission is to carry on the ministry of Brother Benno by living out the gospel according to Matthew 25:31-45* with love and compassion.

• To comfort the sick and also to support people recovering from addiction!

We place our foundation in God’s hands and rely on his divine providence to

Brother Benno’s is committed to operating with a very minimum amount of paid staff to accomplish our Mission and to enlist the greatest number of volunteers to help with the same goal.

Our Board of Directors is a “working” board and receives no compensation. Fund raising is carried out by our volunteers, grant writers and our generous donors, therefore your donations to Brother Benno’s are not eroded by overhead, administrative, and fundraising costs.

Volunteers and program members play a key a role. Each month, over 200 individuals offer their time to carry out important jobs in accomplishing our mission. Over 90% of our funding comes from private donations, grants, and bequests. Our intention is never to rely on government funding to accomplish our mission.

Brother Benno’s wide base of support within the community continues to grow year after year. We are grateful to the thousands of people who express their support of our work with donations of food, clothes, thrift shop items, time and labor, and of course financial contributions. Without them we would cease to exist.

4worldlovers: For 20 years, Bread of Life has served Oceanside by meeting tangible, short-term needs for food, clothing and resource navigation and providing a welcoming, loving community for those in need of hope and compassion.

Now, we are partnering with the City of Oceanside to open a permanent 30-day shelter for men, women and families experiencing homelessness in the community.

The new location will be called the San Diego Rescue Mission Oceanside Navigation Center and is currently being remodeled. The opening is anticipated by Summer of 2023.

Located at the former Ocean Shores High School, the new Oceanside Navigation Center will offer 50 safe beds, plus nourishing meals, hot showers and case management for our neighbors in need of short-term, transitional shelter.
