The Mission of Our Ministry

"And He sent them out two by two ..." (Luke 10:1)

My Brother's Keeper is a ministry of volunteers whose mission is to bring the love and hope of Jesus Christ to those it serves.

We deliver furniture, household items and food, free of charge, to those who seek assistance.

There are no prerequisites for service.

As a remembrance to those we serve and a reminder to ourselves, we offer each family with a crucifix, saying:

"We're just the delivery people.
This is the person who sent you the furniture."

The Policies of Our Ministry

• My Brother's Keeper shall have no prerequisites for service. No one seeking assistance shall be required to justify their need or provide any information, e.g., an income statement.
• Each person that we have the privilege of serving will be offered a crucifix as a gift for their home, and the following message shall be conveyed:
  "We're just the delivery people, this is the person who sent you the furniture."
  If the crucifix is declined for a stated religious reason, e.g., "No thank you, I'm Jewish," our reply should be: "No problem ... whoever your God is ... that's who sent you the furniture."
• All My Brother's Keeper vehicles shall be unmarked so as to protect the privacy and dignity of those whom we are given the privilege of serving.
• My Brother's Keeper shall not accept Federal or State funding, but instead shall depend solely on private donations to operate.
• My Brother's Keeper shall not sell anything or take any money for services.
• My Brother’s Keeper shall not accumulate money beyond what is
  necessary to ensure its ability to meet the annual operating
  expenses of the ministry. All surplus funds must be spent promptly
  on goods and services for those we serve for Christ or as part of
  the tithing program.
• Each day of service at My Brother's Keeper shall begin and end in community prayer— i.e., intentions of those we serve as well as those we serve with, a stating of the mission, and the Our Father ˆto help us remain focused on our mission and mindful of the privilege of service." All staff, volunteers, and visitors will be invited to participate.
