Mustard Seed of an Idea Blooms into Home and Community for Homeless Neighbors

In 2005, Mobile Loaves & Fishes purchased our first RV home and lifted one homeless man off the streets of Austin. That formerly homeless man, my friend Sam, has had a permanent home within this caring and supportive community for more than 16 years.
It was you who nurtured this mustard seed of an idea, and it has grown from providing housing for one man and blossomed into what Community First! Village is today.
For 23 years, Mobile Loaves & Fishes has been deeply rooted in serving our homeless neighbors. When our truck ministry first hit the streets, it was you-our donors and volunteers-who provided more than just a meal for an empty belly. You offered a listening ear, a compassionate heart and you built relationships with our homeless neighbors. Together, we listened and learned. We discovered homelessness isn’t caused by a lack of housing. It’s not caused by addictions or physical or mental health disabilities. What we learned is that the single greatest cause of homelessness is a profound, catastrophic loss of family.
