The Least of These Ministry (TLOT) is a non-profit organization that strives to make a positive difference in the lives of the homeless community in the Roanoke Valley. Its mission is to meet men and women living on the streets and serve them with spiritual, physical, and emotional support in the name of Jesus Christ.
There are many circumstances that can bring a person to homelessness like job loss, natural disasters, mental illness, and more. In addition, many homeless people receive disability checks but their income isn’t enough to cover minimum living expenses. Many suffer from social anxiety and mental health issues that make it difficult to live in a shelter environment. Regardless of the reason for their living situation, TLOT views all people as children of God and worthy to be served.
Operating as a gap ministry, TLOT works to meet needs that other homeless services in the area are unable to meet. TLOT is continuously evaluating how to better serve our unsheltered friends. This is only possible because of the continued support we receive from our village in the way of financial donations, donated items, volunteering, and prayer.
The services provided by TLOT vary from assisting in finding housing, meeting immediate needs on the streets and providing a place to improve hygiene. To see a complete list of services provided, click here.
