What we are about
Each Monday upwards of 20-30 dedicated volunteers join together to provide food, laundry services and HOPE to over 300 homeless in Jacksonville, FL. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotDogMinistry/). We provide regular meals, placement and assistance services, laundry services, hygiene products, blankets, coats and other items to reach, minister to and disciple people in need. It is not our goal to meet all of the complex needs of the homeless population, only to point them to the ONLY one who can. We have been faithfully doing this Monday outreach that we call "Hot Dogs for Hope Ministry" for since February 2016 each and every week. Visit www.QuarterCrusade.com for more about our ministry

How YOU can help
1.) GIVE directly right here, right now. In addition to this campaign, we are praying for more monthly supporters.
2.) SHARE this campaign with folks who may support us and get the word out about the Quarter Crusade at www.QuarterCrusade.com
3.) SAVE your quarters and donate them. We need around 600 each and every week. Encourage your kids, friends, family and coworkers to do the same. Contact me at (904)635-8822, IM me, or email [email protected] to donate them!
4.) PRAY! We believe in spiritual warfare. There is an invisible power constantly trying EVERYTHING to keep this ministry from happening. Please join our prayer team and lift up this ministry.
5.) SERVE! Jesus said that "the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few!". We aren't looking for volunteers, we ARE however always looking for others who are called by God to reach and minister to homeless in our community. If you pass by homeless and feel something inside your spirit convicting you and telling you to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to help that person... You'll fit right in with us
