Caring for the homeless
Working with partner churches in Sofia, capital of Bulgaria and
Chisinau capital of Moldova, MWB StreetMercy teams are serving hot
soup and bread to people in need.
A leader from one of MWB's partner churches tells us, "On
the street, you'll find shocking stories of ordinary men and women
who have lost their jobs or been cheated out of their homes by
relatives. Some have illnesses which stop them from working, while
others are caught in the poverty trap: They struggle to pull
themselves up from the bottom of society. Many have given up
trying."
MWB meets those in need just where they are. In 2017, we gave
out over 100,000 meals to homeless people in Bulgaria and Moldova,
most of whom shelter during the freezing temperatures in abandoned
buildings, near air-conditioning plant, in underground service
tunnels, or under cardboard.
Just $20 is enough to feed one person for a week!
