Using a model based in deployed tactical and humanitarian experience, the Van in Narcanistan brings life-sustaining resources and a healing reminder of God's love to those least able to reach out for either.  These are the "hidden homeless" whose difficulties or vulnerabilities prevent them from accessing aid through community resources like soup kitchens or shelters, and who can only be reached by actively searching the streets.  Disporportionate among this population are veterans, women, the elderly and mentally ill, and young people those whose lives have been devastated by the rampant criminal enterprise of human trafficking and exploitation.  Visit the website of our sister project, Rancho Santa Catarina, for more about our fight on that front.
