Redding folks are stepping up giving comfort to the needy as they see the tremendous suffering of our homeless community.
One of those fantastic folks is Vince Pesce, and you can find him on Facebook.
Vince is organizing a fundraiser and is "matching donations received and giving regular updates on how the money is spent."
Vince goes out into the community and touches the poor and less fortunate with comfort and goodie bags!
"Mostly hoodies, ponchos, beanies, scarves, gloves and socks, but also pizza and or sandwiches."
It appears these goodie bags" also contain delicious, tasty treats.
So important are these grassroot charities of comfort especially as you look around and see so many in distress on our streets and under bridges during this homeless shelter crisis.
Wont you consider helping Vince by a donation to his "Feed and clothe the homeless in my community, organized by Vince Pesce" gofundme page, or a donation that would bless Vince and the bags he distributes?
With the removalof the Shasta County Homeless Continuum of Care leader, the state of homeless folks in Redding and Shasta County is in complete disarray.
And with Sacramento giving out millions and millions to Redding and Shasta County California to alleviate the emergency, nobody can seem to give an account of the money, or where it was spent.

Homeless are everywhere...
Local compassionate Christians and non-Christian's alike are stepping up to fill the ever-increasing void as homeless suffering in our community continue to fall through the gap.
Homeless camp under Cypress St bridge
Grassroot charities have been reaching out desperately trying to fill this void.
Under Redding Cypress St Bridge Homeless Receive Big Donation from Anonymous Donor
One group instead of helping them was hit with City of Redding rules and regulations at the Martin Luther King Center and park in which they served.

Undaunted, MLK Ministries and its leaders certainly could use your donations and financial support.
"Skippy" and Redeemed Ministry Outreach
Another fantastic ministry working closely with these folks is "Skippy" of Redding Redeemed.
"We pick up food from the listed sources in our schedule and deliver it directly to "The Least of These" and thus, "Feed His Sheep" as requested."
Perhaps you would like an opportunity to volunteer and help others as well?
Wont you consider reaching out and helping these folks who have been helping so many others?
Redding Lighthouse Church / Ministry
Redding's Lighthouse Church, ministry serves the poor and less fortunate homeless suffering under the Cypress Street bridge, their church, and other locations around town.
Not only a hearty delicious stew to feed the soul but conversation and offered prayer really cheer up the faces of those taking refuge from poverty and homelessness.
PLEASE consider donations to these groups and ministries of tarps, tents, blankets, sleeping bags if you can, jackets and warm socks / gloves as well as flashlights, batteries, lanterns for safety.
And of course, hot and cold drinks and food would be greatly appreciated!
Strange I believe how local news media covers up the true identity of the Good News Rescue Mission, and the horrible things that allegedly occurs there.
Personally, I have always believed it is a business really, eager to kowtow spiritually to Shasta Counties "Rome," a political subdivision of the city of Redding.
Redding Good News Rescue Mission turned away 500 people one year." 14 Degree Windchill 7 a.m.
Tweet from Redding Record Searchlight news reporter
If there is so much room at the Good News Rescue Mission reported, then why did the city of Redding California declare a "homeless shelter crisis" receiving millions of dollars in homeless aid?
I understand Shasta County Supervisors have received over 49 million or more in homeless aid.
Hire more employees in the parks department, and more equipment, and destroyed known homeless camp survival areas.

Maybe it makes the Redding police feel better to refer homeless to the only homeless rescue shelter in all of Shasta, Tehama, Lassen, and Siskiyou counties.
Why do these homeless folks prefer to sleep on painful river rocks on the Sacramento riverbed in freezing cold and howling winds than stay at the so called only "resource" the news and the Redding Police CIRT team offers aka The Good News Rescue Mission?
Is it the Violence? Drug dealing? Nobody wears Covid masks? Staff and volunteers stealing donations?
Is it the stench of dirty clothes, feet and other horrendous body odor?
Is it because homeless youth have been molested there? Including two foster boys who stayed there later adopted by a local Catholic family?
Is it the nasty men sleeping 2 feet away from your bed bunk masturbating?
Is it the Covid virus that ravaged the guests and staff killing Pastor Honey and Director of guest services just to name a few?

Is it the bedbugs, Staph and MRSA outbreaks? Crabs and scabies infestations? Lice, The thievery? Overdose deaths?
Is it their 30 day in 30 day out policy?
Is it because Good News Rescue Mission has access to your data base through Shascom dispatch?
Is it because there is nowhere for their precious pets to stay?
Is it because the Good News Rescue Mission separates families and the boys reaching a certain age must stay on males only side?
Is it because nobody should have to listen to a sermon on the false "fly away theory" or otherwise known as the "Rapture doctrine" over and over before they are allowed to eat?

Bad News at the Good News Rescue Mission - Redding Homeless Families With Children
I once asked Bob Brannon, Redding Police Community Service officer who dealt directly with homeless and their camps for years a question.
I said Bob, it's just you and me here, if you and your family had nowhere to go would you stay at the Good News Rescue Mission?
He responded with a resounding "no".
So why would KRCR TV News, Mike Mangas, Redding police CIRT Team, or any other TV Paper or Radio reporter suggest homeless stay at the Good News Rescue Mission?
How about being a REAL NEWS Reporter or Redding police officer go in unannounced and report on your meal, or better yet spend the night on the floor with one of their slobber covered un sanitized mats.
And quit pointing to a homeless shelter you or your family would never set foot in, let alone spend the night.
