Welcome Aboard - Ryan & Chelsea

We are thankful to grow our staff and mission by adding Ryan and Chelsea Garven to Productive Lives. As the Communications department for Productive Lives, they are helping bridge the gap between the work happening on the streets of Kensington and the community of supporters who make it possible. Their role helps to steward these stories faithfully and invite others into the mission. The ongoing support of donors, volunteers, and prayer partners fuels every step forward.

...On The Streets

Community Highlight

This is Mark who’s coming to food distribution for a long time…just the last few months his wife passed away. We’ve had some great conversations in tears. He lives in the neighborhood and  staying with his son right now, but he told me a couple weeks ago that he got saved!  He said, "I’m reading my Bible" and he is attending a church.

Pray that Mark continues to show up and for us to provide discipleship for him 

We are thrilled to officially launch the
