Church in the Community
Who We Are
Church In The Community (CTC) helps unhoused people in Sacramento access food, IDs, benefits, and housing so they can escape street homelessness and rebuild their lives.
We began in 2020 with an all-volunteer team and a desire to live out our core value: loving our neighbors by meeting their tangible needs. Every Saturday, our team shows up at Cesar Chavez Park to serve hot meals, distribute hygiene kits, and offer resources that help people take steps off the street.
Many of our leaders have experienced homelessness themselves. That’s why we believe consistency and dignity must be at the heart of everything we do.
Problem We Solve
On any given night, more than 6,600 people in Sacramento are homeless. Many face overwhelming barriers—missing identification, no phone, no transportation, and no one in their corner.
Without these basic supports, they cannot access housing, benefits, or employment. That’s where we step in. We provide hot meals, hygiene kits, and one-on-one assistance to help them move forward.
Our Impact
- 6,000 meals served annually
- 125 unhoused individuals reached weekly on average
