“With summer approaching, and [because] we already had a heat wave, the water will be much needed.”

Sikora extended special thanks to project participants Wyatt, Jack and Kia, who were pictured, as well as Alex and Sam (not pictured) and everyone else who participated.

Ground Zero Ministries is an outreach ministry in Abbotsford that offers free haircuts on Sundays and hands out meals twice a week.

“We use these outreaches as a tool to build relationships with our unhoused community, with a sole purpose, to get our unhoused friends off of the streets, and into detox and treatment, where they would find freedom from addiction in a new, sober life,” said Sikora. “I was a homeless IV, fentanyl and crystal meth addict six years ago, and found freedom in Christ through a one-year treatment facility. Ground Zero was started up as just a way to share my story with people, and then it blew up into what it is today.”
