Meet The board

Rachelle is a woman of faith who is deeply committed to helping others step into their God-given purpose. She leads through relationships, connection, and a natural ability to bring people together. Her work centers on equipping and empowering others by helping volunteers and leaders recognize their gifts and walk in them with confidence. She believes that when people align with God’s purpose and move together, real impact happens.

​

Rachelle has spent over two decades advocating for others, first in the classroom and later in the nonprofit world, where she developed and led programs serving severely and profoundly disabled youth through a trauma-informed lens. That same heart carries into everything she does today.

​

She is most at home in the streets, serving, building relationships, and walking alongside people as they learn to lean on Jesus and take steps forward. She is passionate about being a voice for those who are often overlooked and making sure they are seen, known, and supported.

​

Rachelle is a devoted wife to JL, a proud mom of three, and “Nonni” to her granddaughter. She loves traveling, spending time outdoors, her dogs Hunter and Gizmo, and sharing a good meal with the people she loves.

JL is a man of faith whose life reflects redemption, purpose, and service. He leads the operational and logistical side of the ministry, making sure everything runs smoothly in the streets. But more than that, he shows up with authenticity. Having come out of addiction and homelessness himself, he connects with people in a real and raw way, offering truth, grace, and a place where they are seen without judgment.

​

JL brings over 30 years of construction experience and a natural ability to build what’s needed, when it’s needed. He designed and built the mobile shower trailer, creating a way to restore dignity and meet people in a tangible, immediate way. He is passionate about using his skills to create opportunities for others, including helping build a future tiny home community and equipping others with trade skills they can use to support themselves.

​

He thrives in bringing the Word to the streets and walking alongside others as they take steps forward.

​

JL is a devoted husband, a proud father, and a “Nonno” to his granddaughter. He loves being outdoors, working with his hands, spending time in the ocean, and finding treasures along the beach.
