The No Strings attached Ministry strives to make a significant and lasting impact on the lives of the less fortunate in our community through the collection and distribution of essential clothing and toiletry items, thereby restoring respect and hope through love and fellowship.

We're all human, sometimes all we need is to know that someone cares. The homeless are no exception, and it's our goal to make sure they know we care.
The homeless are our brothers and sisters, and we recognize their needs because those needs are our own. We provide clothing to restore confidence.
Our goal is to provide the homeless with the essentials required to restore their self worth and dignity.
