Help put the Gospel on wheels
Our trailer is overflowing with donations. A cargo van means Bibles and supplies stay protected, teams hit the streets on more days than Tuesday, and we can bless the surrounding cities too. Give toward the van (tax receipted).
Why a van, why now
Love on Hamilton and Love on The World have been blessed with an abundance of donations to share God's love and provide for people in need. Our trailer is overflowing, which makes it hard to organize, protect, and hand out what people have given. A cargo van would be a game-changer: supplies stay dry and in order, multiple drivers can take the van and trailer out on more days of the week, and event supplies move in one trip. If we find a better deal than expected, every extra dollar goes to Love on Hamilton outreach.
What the van unlocks
- Better organization
- Bibles, tracts, clothing, and food donations stored neatly and protected from the weather — in great condition and ready to hand out the moment someone needs them.
- Expanded outreach
- With a van, multiple drivers can take the van and trailer to the streets on more days of the week — not just Tuesdays — multiplying how many people we reach.
- Support for events
- We help with many events across the year. A van lets us move supplies efficiently and be an even greater blessing to the communities that host them.
- Beyond Hamilton
- Surrounding cities have outreach groups running and starting. The van lets us resource them too — a blessing to many people for many years ahead.

Good questions
- Will I get a tax receipt?
- Yes. Gifts are made through Charitable Impact, a registered Canadian charity platform, and you receive a charitable tax receipt automatically.
- What exactly will the van be used for?
- Storing and protecting outreach supplies (Bibles, tracts, food, clothing), getting teams and the trailer to the streets on more days than Tuesday, and moving supplies to the events we serve throughout the year — in Hamilton and the surrounding cities with outreach groups.
- What happens if you raise more than the van costs?
- If we find a better deal, every extra dollar goes directly to Love on Hamilton outreach — food, supplies, and Gospel materials for the streets.
- Can I give a vehicle or supplies instead of money?
- Possibly! If you have a cargo van, a lead on one, or supplies to donate, email Hello@LoveonTheWorld.com and we will talk.
- Who is behind this?
- Love on Hamilton, a street evangelism and discipleship ministry founded in 2014 by Daniel and Katie Ziedins, and part of Love on The World. The team has been on the streets of downtown Hamilton every Tuesday since.
- How else can I help?
- Share this page with one person who loves Hamilton. Pray for the right van at the right price. And come out on a Tuesday at 7:00 PM to see what the van will carry.
