Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Christianity, Religion
Mission: Street Wise is organized to aid and assist the homeless, poor, marginalized, and underprivileged in order to enhance and support Biblical Christian principles for living so that hope, meaning and purpose can be re-established in their lives. We do this through free meals, supplying necessary items to raise the quality of living, teaching, education, training, counsel and friendship. Following our stated faith-based Christian disciplines and behaviors as a staff, we provide these means and consistent outreach expected of these principles, to individuals in our area regardless of religious affiliation or beliefs.
Results: We manage the Gathering House Cafe to provide job training and life skills for people coming out of poverty. We prepare and distribute sack lunches each week on Mondays to an average of 70 people as part of Spokane’s alternative Municipal Court. We build friendships, offer help and support, and share the love of God as often as possible when giving away clothes, toothbrushes, hygiene items, coats, gloves, blankets, backpacks or bus passes.
