about us.
Crazy Faith Ministries is a non-profit committed to improving the lives of “the least of these” through teaching the concept of the power of “crazy faith” in surmounting the issues faced by people in this society. CFM believes in taking “the good news” to people who have been marginalized, empowering them to live their fullest lives.

We serve.
The Homeless
We provide what we can in the way of resources, food, clothing, and support.
Homeless Vets
We spend time with homeless women and men who have served our country.
Hygiene Supplies
We dispense hygiene supplies primarily to poor and homeless women in the community.
Volunteer Service
We partner with community agencies and churches to assist them in caring for others.
WE NEED SOCKS
There is one thing we need all of the time. Socks. We serve a number of populations but our veterans need new socks. Can you help us? You can donate in-kind or designate a cash donation towards the purchase of NEW, UNUSED socks.
