Umbrellas and ponchos before the rain

When the weather shifted, we bought rain gear for friends living on the street.

By the Inside Outreach team · February 17, 2026

The weather was shifting. You could feel it.

For most of us that means grabbing a jacket. For our friends living on the street, it means getting soaked and staying soaked. Wet clothes, wet blankets, nowhere to dry off.

So for this month’s Second Saturday outreach we partnered with Harbor Church and River of Life Mission, bought umbrellas and ponchos, and handed them out.

Practical love

Sometimes meeting a practical need brings immediate relief. It reminds someone they aren’t forgotten.

Together

A poncho does not fix everything. But on a wet night, staying dry matters. We are grateful for the people who helped make that possible.

Mahalo to Harbor Church, River of Life and everyone who supports this work.

A poncho cannot solve homelessness, but it can keep someone dry tonight. Help us meet immediate needs with care.
