StreetWatch is an all-volunteer street outreach ministry to the homeless in Greensboro, NC.
Our mission: To meet the immediate needs of unsheltered homeless people in Greensboro; to build caring relationships with them; to connect them with resources and supportive services; and to share with them the love and hope of Jesus Christ.
A few examples of how we help:
- We provide food, hygiene items, sleeping bags, tents, boots, and more to homeless people who sleep outside.
- We provide homeless people with information about medical and mental health care; substance abuse treatment; employment; shelter; housing; free meals; clothing; and more.
- We pray for homeless people, and love, exhort, support and encourage them, based on the unchanging truth of God's Word and because of His unending love for them (and for us!).
StreetWatch was founded by Audrie Keen and Michele Forrest in 2008.
Storage facilities for StreetWatch are provided by Battleground Storage, 3700 Old Battleground Road in Greensboro, NC. We are grateful for their support!
The Greensboro Police Department's Watch Operations has allowed StreetWatch to place collection boxes in the lobby of their facility at 2620 S. Elm/Eugene St. in Greensboro. We very much appreciate this, along with all the help we receive from GPD in doing street outreach. Thank you!
Fiscal sponsors for StreetWatch are Greensboro Christian Church and Men Of Vision & Excellence. We are thankful for their assistance!
