Serving the homeless with dignity. Partner with us to make a difference in our city!

Gateway San Jose, in collaboration with Meet the Challenge (MTC) and 13 local churches, advocates for the homeless throughout the year and has the privilege of hosting the homeless community each month at a partnering church site.
 
On Saturday, Nov 21, we will be hosting the outreach, where guests will receive:

• A warm meal
• Essential care items
• Haircuts
• A message of hope while listening to uplifting music
