Sacramento group amplifies voice of the homeless

The Sacramento Homeless Organizing Committee (SHOC) knows what it’s like to live on the margins. The organizing committee, which has a longstanding relationship with the Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People, is made up of people who are formerly or currently homeless as well as supporters.

Opening hearts and expanding minds

Providing and packing supplies like pens and pencils, making puppet kits during Sunday service for educational classes and holding events to raise awareness and funds. Through these actions and more, Presbyterians are helping families and individuals who are hit hardest by the loss and struggles surrounding the spread of HIV and AIDS.
