Keeping It Cold Fundraiser

Launched 4/15/24


Dehydration…..With limited options for shelter from the summer sun and ​potentially limited access to water, those experiencing homelessness ​are especially vulnerable.


We average 500 bottles of Water/Gatorade/Beverages per day during ​warmer weather. The past 4 years we were blessed to have 24 hr ​access to an Ice machine from Brian Graff; it is no longer working. The ​first thing Traci Byrd-Eagles and I noticed in our current building was ​the hook up for an ice maker…woohoo. A few months later, Traci ​purchased two Ice Scoops on faith that God would provide an Ice ​Machine.


Over the past 14 months we have invested time and energy speaking ​with restaurant owners, companies, testing ice until we have come up ​with the Ice maker that will best work with what we need. I’ve have had ​a plumber test the hook up system, an electrician is starting the work to ​connect the ice maker (FAITH)


The Ice maker system, with warranty, water purifier and wiring is a total ​of $12,000. The electrician was paid for by an anonymous donor…​.(FAITH).​


THE NEW ICE MAKER WENT LIVE ON JULY 24TH!!!​

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! ​

about us

How it all started


Blessing Warriors RVA

began with a crockpot

and a pack of cups from

Dollar Tree in 2014 when

we saw people living in

doorways.


As we began helping people, ​others in the community asked ​how they could join us, and we ​grew.


We became a non-profit in 2018 ​and continue to help those in ​Richmond

who need it.

Blessing Warriors continues to ​change to meet the need


This past year more families ​with children have become ​unsheltered.

To help the families, our ​volunteers


  • Collected toys, games,

books and treats for an

afternoon of fun for the kids ​and a break for parents


  • Began laundry day

including detergent, dryer

sheets and snack
