Matthew 25 – 40
‘Truly I tell
you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of
mine, you did for me.’
HOST Dundee is a small team of dedicated volunteers who aim to demonstrate the love of Christ to all regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or disability by providing support such as a listening ear, hot drinks, warm clothing, food or a warm blanket to street homeless person’s particularly rough sleepers in Dundee and surrounding areas.
HOST Dundee aims to relief suffering and distress by providing or
assisting in the provision of humanitarian support, pastoral care such as
listening, sign posting to other agencies, supporting, encouraging and
befriending in order to save and improve lives.
The HOST Dundee 'Midnight Patrol' which
operates from October to March, searches the city including the bus and railway
stations looking for those who are street homeless, sleeping rough in shop
doorways, church entrances, bin sheds, parks, car parks, in void /derelict
properties, etc.
Our first
patrol commencing at 21:30 to 23:00hrs and second patrol being at 06:00 to
07:30hrs. We endeavor to provide an on call response service throughout the
night.
Experience
from previous years has found that rough sleepers have normally identified a
place to sleep and are 'bedded down' by 01:00hrs and do not wish to be woken up
in the middle of the night.
Our mission
is to maintain human dignity through practical help improving the
conditions of life for street homeless person’s in particular rough
sleepers throughout the city of Dundee and surrounding environs.
