Empowering our Community
Bringing Hope Through Purpose-Driven Projects
Through our mobile outreach, community stops, reward programs and special projects, we provide practical resources while creating opportunities for people to move forward.
01
Unhoused Outreach
Our Unhoused Outreach program is focused on meeting people experiencing homelessness with compassion, dignity and practical support.
Through the Blessing Bus, community outreach and partnerships with organizations serving our unhoused neighbors, we provide essential items such as food, Blessing Bags, hygiene supplies, seasonal resources, clothing and other necessities.
02
Blessing Bus
The Blessing Bus brings essential resources directly into the community. We travel to designated locations to serve our unhoused neighbors and others experiencing hardship with Blessing Bags, essential supplies, seasonal items and more.
Through partnerships with local organizations, the Blessing Bus helps us reach people where they are rather than waiting for them to find us.
03
Reward Program
Our Reward Program is built around empowering, not enabling.
Through community service opportunities like our Community Clean-Ups, participants can give back to the community while earning premium rewards such as tents, heaters, phone cards and other practical items.
We believe everyone has something valuable to contribute, and sometimes a little opportunity and encouragement can be the first step toward something bigger.
04
Swannanoa Stop
Our Swannanoa Stop brings The Blessing Project directly to the community we call home.
At scheduled stops, community members can access Blessing Bags and seasonal resources such as school supplies, holiday meals, hygiene items, Cede’s Place resources and other essentials throughout the year.
05
Partner Stops
We believe we can accomplish more together than we ever could alone. Our Partner Stops allow us to work alongside organizations already serving their communities. Partners provide resources and services in their area of expertise while The Blessing Project brings additional practical support and supplies.
By combining resources, volunteers and community connections, we can reach more people and fill more gaps.
06
Cede’s Place
While the Blessing Barn has paused, Cede’s Place continues in a new way. We’ll bring children’s clothing and essential items directly into the community through select Swannanoa Stops, helping little ones and families access what they need close to home.
Cede’s Place will provide children’s clothing from newborn through 5T, along with other comfort and seasonal items as available. What began as Mercede’s personal mission of compassion continues today as a reminder that every child deserves to be seen, valued and loved. 💕
07
Project Comfort
Project Comfort provides practical resources to help people stay safe and comfortable during extreme weather.
Through this project, we distribute items such as fans, heaters, propane Vouchers and other weather-related necessities to people who need them.
08
Blessing Barn – (Paused Project)
The Blessing Barn was created as a free community resource where individuals and families could access clothing, household items, food and other essentials at no cost.
While the Blessing Barn is currently paused, our mission hasn’t stopped. We are taking what we learned from the Barn and bringing that same heart of service directly into the community through the Blessing Bus, Community Stops, Unhoused Outreach, Partner Stops and other projects.
