Change lives this weekend
We work directly with the transitional homeless and working poor in our communities bringing hope to those who desperately need encouragement and support. The time you spend will make a direct impact on the at-risk and overlooked who need you.
An opportunity for everyone
We believe that everyone should help those in their community experiencing homelessness. That’s why we offer volunteer opportunities for everyone from families with kids to sports teams and work friends. If you have a heart for the homeless, we have a place for you.
Why weekly motels?
When they first visit one of our locations, many volunteers are surprised by how many people (and families) live in the rundown, pay-by-the-week motels we serve. Volunteers often remark that they’ve driven past these motels for years paying them no attention. They’re surprised and saddened to learn that many families, of multiple generations, call these dirty motel rooms home. But that’s why we’re here, to bring smiles, hope and encouragement to people who otherwise go un-noticed. The time you spend volunteering with us makes a direct impact on the lives of those going through incredibly difficult circumstances. From holiday events to health fairs, we bring services and hope to the forgotten.
What is MotelChurch?
MotelChurch is a nonprofit organization that plants Christian churches in weekly motels where the working poor and transitional homeless live. Each week, volunteers bring a food item to share at the potluck breakfast and spend their time supporting and encouraging those who spend their weeks struggling to survive. This at-risk population needs hope, and they need to know that they matter and that they are loved. We seek to help families and individuals suffering in poverty and share the love of God with them in the process. Each week at every MotelChurch location, a guest accepts Jesus Christ and much more recommit their lives because of supportive volunteers like you.
