Teams are competing on Friday in a Shootout Against Hunger to help prevent hunger and homelessness in Tulsa. The sporting clays event is a fundraiser for John 3:16 Mission. “We are combating compassion fatigue and finding new ways for people to contribute and this is a great solution to that,” said CEO & Lead Pastor Steven Whitaker.
The nonprofit estimates the money raised will provide more than 34,000 meals to Tulsa’s unhoused population and others in need. The remaining funds will support the John 3:16 Mission in its efforts to provide shelter, care, recovery, and support to guests and families in need. Whitaker said, “We have worked really hard over the last few years to make our a front door a place where somebody who is newly homeless and scared to death, feels welcome and like there is hope for the next steps.”
