“Is not this the fast that I choose: Is it not to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house.”
Isaiah 58:6-7

Our Homeless Ministry began in 1994 when God spoke to an ex-convict working in a machine shop, and told him to go and feed the homeless.

That night, Emil Pocisk and his wife Sandy made a few sandwiches and drove around Cleveland looking for someone in need.  Out of that calling grew a team of over 40 dedicated volunteers who faithfully serve hot meals and the love of Jesus Christ to the homeless in Cleveland every Saturday, rain or shine, sleet or heat.

Emil went home to be with the Lord in 2005, but his legacy and mission are carried on today by his wife, Sandy.  Immediately after True Freedom Ministries was formed, Sandy called to see if the homeless ministry could find a home.  We were delighted to welcome Sandy and her team aboard. This outreach has not missed a single weekend since 1994.

We meet weekly, every Saturday, rain or shine, at 6:50 p.m. at the Lutheran Men’s Shelter, 2100 Lakeside Ave E, Cleveland, OH 44114.

If you would like to volunteer to help us serve food and share the Gospel with men and women on Saturday night, please contact David Wessel at dwessel@tfmohio.com or call him at 216-202-3636, ext. 709.
