About This Project

The Zacchaeus Movement’s core mission is to seek and serve people where they are, build genuine relationships, and create opportunities for them to encounter and follow Jesus. We connect physically through presence, relationally through listening, spiritually through faith-filled conversation, and eternally through prayer in Jesus’ name. “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10 (ESV). Jesus met Zacchaeus where he was at; we follow the way Jesus led.

Today, that mission takes us into Moss Park, Parkdale, Kensington, Bloor West, and South Etobicoke, where we serve approximately 300 to 400 people each week. In the past 12 months, we have served more than 6,400 meals, prayed with approximately 5 to 7 percent of those we serve, and witnessed more than 100 salvations. Yet the need continues to deepen. Rising economic pressure, food insecurity, housing instability, and the ongoing fentanyl crisis are placing increasing numbers of people at risk of falling through the cracks. For those already on the margins, a lost job, missed meal, unsafe night, or addiction can become the beginning of a much longer struggle.

Jesus spoke directly to this kind of ministry in Luke 14:12–14, teaching that when we prepare a banquet, we should invite those who cannot repay us: the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Zacchaeus Movement seeks to live out that command by setting a table for people who are often overlooked, offering practical provision alongside prayer, relationship, and the Gospel. We are building the people, systems, and resources required to respond consistently and responsibly, but we cannot do it alone. We are asking churches, individuals, businesses, and donors to help us keep showing up where the need is greatest. Your support helps put food in someone's hands, prayer in someone's darkest moment, and the hope of Jesus within reach. Give, serve, or partner with Zacchaeus Movement today so that together, we can meet people where they are and restore what was lost.
