About the event
Our weekly gathering is more than a service project; it is a mobilization of the local Church to meet our neighbors exactly where they are. We operate through a "station-based" model designed to care for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Each station is manned by dedicated volunteers who are "boots on the ground," committed to the ministry of presence and the restoration of dignity.
The heart of Boots On The Ground PNW beats through a dedicated team committed to serving our unsheltered neighbors with the love of Christ. Meet the hands and feet behind our mission in Vancouver.
Chris Clark
Co-Founder
Terri Shapiro and Josephine Clark
Chris was inspired to create this ministry alongside his fellow followers of Christ as a way to serve God and to love His people. Chris fundamentally believes that in serving the 'least of these,' (Matthew 25:40) we are serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Co-Founder
Mark Thompson
First and foremost, Terri is a follower of Jesus Christ, as we all are. Second, Terri is Chris's mother and Josephine's grandmother. She decided to initiate this ministry alongside the other co-founders as a way to bring glory to Christ and share the love of God with the most vulnerable of our society.
Spiritual Care Lead
Mark leads our prayer ministry and foot-washing stations, bringing spiritual hope to our neighbors.
