Our youth will be part of a service trip with the North Falmouth Congregational Church to Youth Street Reach in Hyannis on the evening of January 21 – Saturday, January 22. The program is from 6 – 8:30 PM Friday evening and then again from 6 AM – Noon on Saturday.

Youth Street Reach’s mission is to: Empower formerly homeless and homeless individuals to use their gifts and talents in a positive way through sharing their stories during the program; to help dispel the stereotypes identified with homeless individuals by spending time and sharing a meal together; to look at the root causes of homelessness and envision what type of actions are needed to prevent it; and for the participating youth to explore the issues of homelessness on the Cape, and have fun through praying and working together!

“Youth Street Reach offers a unique and valuable experience – a chance for teens to interact with our brothers and sisters who have or are still dealing with being homeless. Youth hear firsthand how each life’s path may lead to unexpected circumstances and how a community of faith and love can change lives.” ~Cape Cod Council of Churches website
