Mission:

PBJ (Peanut Butter and Jelly) Outreach Inc. is an ecumenical group of people volunteering their time and services to provide food, clothing, and basic social services to homeless people as well as those who are below the poverty level, living in the depressed and impoverished areas of the Metropolitan Detroit area. Every Saturday morning PBJ Outreach provides food, cold and hot drinks, clothing to approximately 250-350 homeless people. The services are provided to all, regardless of race, religion (or lack thereof), gender or national origin.

PBJ Outreach is a tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as a public charity. Thus any contributions made to the PBJ Outreach Inc. are tax-deductible.

Volunteer:
Anyone who wants to make a difference in the life of a homeless person is encouraged to join us. We can always use volunteers.
• Volunteers come from variety of diverse backgrounds and ages from many organizations and communities in Southeast Michigan. There is no special training needed.
• Junior High and High School students join us to fulfill their school's Community/Christian Service requirement. PBJ is a recognized provider of community service hours. Many have continued to volunteer on a regular basis.
• Individuals and families are invited. Kids are welcome (+7), when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

St. Ignatius' Prayer for Generosity
Lord, teach us to be generous, Teach us to serve You as You deserve, To give and not to count the cost, To fight and not to heed the wounds, To toil and not to seek for rest, To labor and not to ask for any reward, Save that of knowing that we are doing Your will.
