In Broward and Palm Beach counties, Florida, some 20 churches of many denominations support Gateway Community Outreach. Gateway operates an emergency homeless prevention, food and support program for homeless and disadvantaged individuals and families. It provides groceries, clothing, rent and mortgage assistance, education (literacy, GED, adult basic education), family mentoring, legal, medical/dental assistance, employment, personal encouragement, spiritual support, and counseling. It works with other local agencies and Jewish centers to match clients with needed services.

In the Mojave Desert north of Los Angeles, the Grace Resource Center was begun by the Antelope Valley Ministerial Association and is a joint effort of about 40 churches.

Grace’s stated purpose is "to eliminate hunger in the Antelope Valley, and to share the love of Christ in a tangible way by the giving of services." It feeds 8,000 people monthly, works with other local agencies, operates a "Thrift Super Center," and offers computer classes and POWER courses (Personal growth; Order, Wisdom, Ethics and Relationships).
