The Annunciation Homeless Ministry
CURRENT AND UPCOMING HOMELESS MINISTRY PROJECTS
Imagine not having enough water.
Our overall health depends on water. Not only does the human body depend on water to stay alive, but every organ in our bodies needs water to work properly. Our bodies use water to regulate body temperature, remove waste, and lubricate our joints.
Have you ever felt so thirsty that you just couldn’t wait to get a cold drink of water? Your mouth starts to dry out, and a headache sets in. Those experiencing homelessness face this challenge every day. They walk the streets with few places to find relief from the scorching sun or the freezing temperatures, with little access to public drinking water. Just one bottle of water could prevent heat exhaustion or dehydration and even save a life.
Please help by donating whatever you can!
Please place your donations in the wooden Homeless Ministry (hope) chest located on the Mezzanine level by the bookstore.
When we give a drink to someone who is thirsty, we give a drink to Jesus himself, and when we love our neighbor, we love Jesus.
Our 2026 Project Home Drive Was Another One for the Books!
We collected just shy of 500 books! The books were delivered to Project Home for their HOMEbooks social enterprise initiative. HOMEbooks is led and fully staffed by formerly homeless residents, providing an opportunity to overcome barriers to employment. Thank you to everyone who donated to this worthy cause!
After such a successful book drive, let’s all help make our Annunciation Summer Water Drive one for the books, too!
The recommended eight 8-oz glasses of water per day is a far reach for many, especially for people experiencing homelessness. Dehydration is a common cause of health issues. Help those experiencing homelessness stay hydrated. Every drop of water makes a difference!

MISSION
As a ministry of people helping people, our mission is to aid the homeless in our community and across Philadelphia.
We provide food and clothing to those in need who visit the church during the week; we feed college students experiencing food insecurity; we collect and distribute clothing, dry goods, and books to local shelters; and we offer backpacks to local youth in need.
