RICHMOND FRIENDS OF THE HOMELESS.ORG

Our Mission

Richmond Friends of the Homeless was formed in 1987 to strengthen and enrich the community life of the underprivileged and homeless in Richmond, Virginia.

Our History

It was Thanksgiving of 1986. My freezer was stuffed with three turkeys my family had received from various businesses. I was delighted to hear a minister announce on TV that he was in desperate need of food for a Thanksgiving meal he was trying to prepare for the homeless. What a great way to get rid of those turkeys.   More>>

Children's Christmas Party

Each year we host a wonderful party at each of our sites for the neighborhood children. Santa arrives with his elves with toys, books, and stuffed animals for the children. Each child gets their picture taken on Santa's knee. We are always in need of unwrapped gits for boys and girls, gently used books and stuffed animals. Please contact us if you would like to be a part of this effort.

Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Baskets

Each year we proved the women with large families a food basket at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Items needed for these baskets include: turkeys, Stovetop stuffing, cans of corn, yams, green beans and cranberry sauce. Collection of these items is always taking place.

Souper Good News

Every year, on Super Bowl Sunday, Richmond Friends of the Homeless will once again be a part of the Souper Bowl of Sharing. On that day, Souper Bowl Sunday, many congregations across the Richmond area will be asking their youth to stand at the exits of the church with large soup pots. They will ask each member to put a dollar in the soup pot to benefit our soup kitchen. The funds collected will be a great way to get our new year started financially. Make sure your church is a part of this wonderful effort. For more information, please contact Shawnee.
