Our Mission
Left 99 for the 1 Ministries Inc
Inspired by the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:3-7), in which a shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one, Left 99 for the 1 Ministries Inc is on a mission to uplift homeless individuals and families facing food insecurity, clothing shortages, and homelessness.
Through community-driven meal distributions and clothing drives, and thanks to the kindness of our volunteers and donors, we provide nourishing meals, essential clothing, and shelter to those who need it most. No one should go hungry or without a coat. We work to restore dignity, bring hope, and transform lives through compassionate service and sustainable outreach.
Community participation is essential. Together, we can make a profound difference for our neighbors.
In Their Own Words
"At 72, after losing my home, I found hope, friendship, and real care at Left 99 for the 1 Ministries. They saw me as a person, not a problem."
Erasmo, Ministry Guest
"Serving alongside this ministry has changed our neighborhood. Every meal and every coat is shared with dignity, kindness, and a warm welcome."
Sarah, Community Volunteer
"Giving to Left 99 for the 1 is the most meaningful way I know to give back. Food, clothing, and a Bible can help someone find their way forward."

“One evening at the shelter, the kind people of Left 99 for the 1 Ministries offered me a meal and real compassion. Pastor Michael prayed with me and reminded me that I deserved respect and love, just like anyone else. Their words lifted my spirit and gave me the hope I needed to keep going.”
Lucy, ministry guest
“In 2024, I lost my job and returned to Oklahoma City, where I’m now staying at City Care Night Shelter. I’m working hard to keep up with my child support and save to rebuild my life. I love when the folks from Left 99 for the 1 visit, because they always bring great food and lots of love.”

“Volunteering with Left 99 for the 1 Ministries has changed me as much as the people we serve. Handing someone a warm meal or a coat and hearing their story reminds me that everyone deserves dignity and kindness. I leave every outreach feeling more grateful, more connected to my community, and more hopeful about what we can do together.”
