Freshwave Ministries Program

Feeding Program (Vancouver)

As the number of poor and homeless individuals living in poor conditions in downtown areas continues to grow, we are there to offer help. There exists a critical need for outreach programs and services offering hope and care to those who are drowning in depression, despair and poverty. Freshwave specifically focuses on serving the needs of these people who are down on the streets.

Due to the mobile and street-based nature of Freshwave, staff and volunteers interact directly with the marginalized in their own environment. This provides a level of familiarity, comfort and credibility with those being served which leads to relationships based upon trust. This is a key factor in addressing the complex issues behind poverty, homelessness, unemployment, and substance abuse.

Long term vision: To move out of a church setting into a store front setting. This will be a regular business during the day, with paid employees. The evening hours will offer the entertainment and ministry

  • To provide a venue for musicians/singers, other entertainers, to perform

  • To listen to patrons, support them, as able, and to develop healthy relationships with them.
