I was hungry, and you formed a humanities group to discuss my hunger. I was imprisoned, and you crept off quietly to your chapel and prayed for my release. I was naked, and in your mind you debated the morality of my appearance.
I was sick, and you knelt and thanked God for your health.
I was homeless, and you preached to me of the spiritual shelter of the love of God.
I was lonely, and you left me alone to pray for me. You seem so holy, so close to Godbut I am still very hungry-and lonely-and cold.

Make an Investment in the "Least of These" Rebuild Lives! Mat 25:40
Family Called Us has launched a "For the Least of These" campaign to raise the funding necessary to establish and develop the Lindsey Robison East Homeless Outreach and Support Center.

We are seeking churches, Sunday school classes, other faith based groups, businesses, and individuals to make a pledge of at least $10 a month to establish and support the center.
Initial priorities are:
- Homeless help line
- Coordinated street and camp outreach and support services

- Coordinated distribution of tents, blankets, food, clothing, and other items to homeless on the streets or in camps
- Transportation services
- Assistance and support with optaining Housing
- Assistince and support with obtaining employment

Establishing this facility will enable the SOAR Network to take a major step forward in organizing and supporting a comprehensive, responsive network of agencies, churches, and individuals committed to ending homelessness in Central Arkansas.
