At Zachs Rays of Hope Foundation, our mission is to serve the homeless community with unwavering compassion and dignity, recognizing each person as a unique individual beyond their circumstances. We are committed to being a guiding light in their lives by providing essential needs—warmth, shelter, and comfort—without discrimination or judgment. In honoring the memory of our son, Zach, we strive to inspire hope and create lasting change, ensuring that every life we touch is met with kindness,charity, respect, and opportunity.

The videos are of our individual trips. We began distributing to our unhoused in 2024 and that year we were able to assist with over 100 complete backpacks. We hope to give out 365 backpacks this year and we will have contributed 271 after our Sept 20th visit to OKC this year. We can not do this alone and we are so thankful for our donors that have made this possible.
