Do you have material resources? Has the Lord blessed you abundantly?
Project 6:8 is a grassroots organization, we rely solely on individuals like yourself to provide used men's clothing, blankets, tents, toiletries (new) to our homeless friends. Sure you can donate everything to a thrift store and they will resell everything for a profit. Not a bad deal, but donations to Project 6:8 go directly to the homeless. Think of it as a tax write-off in heaven. (We are also a 501-c3 non-profit)
Can you promise to love and to give unconditionally and without expectation?
Your work as a volunteer will be apprectiated by many, most of whom could never pay you back for your service. This selfless love makes standing out in the cold of the evening or heat of the day worth every minute of it.
We rely on many donors monthly and annually to cover our ongoing expenses.
Our costs are minimal, some storage space to store donations and a nice church to have Bible Study. There are no paid "volunteers" at Project6:8, just a solid grassroots foundation. We do occasionally have an event, like a Christmas party or Summer picnic. Your donations are used to fund all of these things, we can't do it without you.
Because many of our homeless friends are outside and exposed to the elements, our needs change with the seasons, which can seem like a weekly change here in Minnesota. We go from needing bug repellent one week to thermal underwear the next. We try to bring it all, the lists below will help you understand what we need and when we need it.
Do you have used men's clothing? We have some men who could use a hand.

Jesus said we would always have the poor among us...these Bible verses explain the cost and benefits of sacrificial giving.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
English Standard Version
If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord — and he will repay you!
New Living Translation
Then he turned to his host. “When you put on a luncheon or a banquet,” he said, “don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you.”
New Living Translation
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
New Living Translation
Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it.
New Living Translation
