Who we are and What we do

We are the Rich family - Matt, Jodie, Micah (13) & Lilly (9).  We love Jesus!!  He tells us to reach out to those around us ... those in our home, those in our community, those in this world.  We want to share His love with everyone.

We've created CARECANS as a way to involve families with young children in the implementation of helping the homeless.  We educate families about homelessness, provide packing opportunities, and send them with CARECANS to pass out to those who are in need.

CARECANS provide

HOPE, HEALTH, and HYGIENE.

HOPE:

• We share the Good News, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• We share shelter and diner information in the Phoenix area that support homeless individuals and families.

HEALTH:

• We provide a toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss.  (Oral hygiene plays an important role in overall health.)
• We provide a small snack.
• We (try to) provide a $5.-$10. gift card to an accommodating restaurant.

HYGIENE:

• We provide shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, a comb, and lip balm. (Feeling clean and healthy promotes confidence.)
