I’m thankful that we’ve been able to help the poor together in so many cities & towns. I’m thankful for my friends and supporters who have helped me every single mile. I couldn’t do it without any of you! Happy Thanksgiving! #takesavillage 

A year ago today I was in Nashville doing outreach as part of my six month mission trip in my Jeep across North America. Today I was supposed to go to New York so I could do outreach in Harlem on Saturday. With everything going on I decided to stay local and went into Boston. Gave out quite a bit of stuff. Thank you Beantown Blankets, Bombas Socks and all the folks that support me. Love you all! I couldn’t do this without you. #missionforhope #takesavillage #jeepers #helpingthehomeless #christianjeepassociation

Today’s outreach was amazing! I partnered with Simplicity Mission & Brooklyn Hope Church in a neat little community in Brooklyn. We gave out over 150 sandwiches, snacks, drinks, Bombas socks, Beantown Blankets, hygiene kits, hats, gloves & Bibles. #takesavillage #hopechurchbrooklyn #simplicitymission #missionforhope #christianjeepassociation

On my way to NY today. Outreach with @simplicitymission tomorrow in Brooklyn . Jeep is loaded up with @beantownblankets @bombas socks, gloves, hats & hygiene kits. Thank you Denise for the pocket Bibles! #missionforhope #christianjeepassociation #takesavillage #jeepers #helpingthehomeless .

I’ve updated the Mission For Hope logo a bit. We are going to be on the road a bit more with the weather getting colder. In November we will be doing outreach in Brooklyn, Harlem & Portland, ME. Doing outreach in Boston in December. We are stocking up on blankets, socks, gloves, hats, hygiene kits and pre-package snacks.        http://www.missionforhope.us

Today I packed up my Jeep with socks, hygiene kits, water, snacks & cookies and went into Boston. Though I have missed doing outreach from my Jeep the last couple months, I didn’t miss seeing the things I saw today. I think the homeless situation in this country got a bit worse since my trip.

Thursday we gave out over 10,000 pounds of food to over 250 families. Big shout out to all our volunteers and donors! Thank you! #goodhope #doinggoodtogether #takesavillage #yesiknowineedabiggermask
