PROJECT FAMILY LOVE OUTREACH

This project was birthed in 2016 when Rachelle had an encounter with a desperate woman in a parking lot.  She had shared her story she just lost her job and couldn't even afford to get diapers for her children.  It was just within moments that Rachelle came back with diapers and ministered to her a message of hope and love in Christ.  Being a Mom of two children and moving to Orange County with her Husband just in 2013 without any family members around, found this her calling.  Rachelle was called to Women and Moms that came to her for help and support.  But, it didn't stop there, it became more and more pressing where others such as veterans, and broken families came  to her who were dealing with severe home life issues.

Rachelle and her Husband, Danny continued to keep items that were donated to her by friends and churches in her garage and it soon became a mission of love to numerous people in desperate need. There has been over 9,600 items distributed.  They also have care packages with items such as toothbrushes, toothpastes, combs and hand sanitizers that are created to distribute to those who are in need in the Santa Ana Community. 

Rachelle has the vision to someday have a Family Life Center to help families or those who may be in severe crisis and hardship situations to find shelter, and resources to get them back on their feet.

She has partnered with other Leaders and Community Events to raise funds and donations for this outreach with team of Ministries of Fire.  

With the help of extraordinary volunteers, this mission of love to reach those who are in hardship and desperate situations has been able to bring the message of hope and restoration to numerous faces in the Community of Orange County.
