About Us

It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion. At SEEKING HIM OUTREACH, a non-profit located in Santa Ana, California, we are dedicated to feeding the homeless and their beloved companions. Founded by Tyson Whitaker, we pride ourselves on personal attention and dedication. Our approach is rooted in compassion, dignity, and community, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence.

Our Inspiration

Tyson Whitaker, CEO and Founder of SEEKING HIM OUTREACH, was inspired to start this mission from his own experiences with homelessness. He shares, "I was 16 years old and was homeless for the first time... I started Seeking Him Outreach to feed homeless people and their pets because I know firsthand what it means to go without." After achieving sobriety, Tyson committed to giving back to the community that supported him. Recognizing the bond between homeless individuals and their pets, SEEKING HIM OUTREACH focuses on providing for both, ensuring no one has to choose between feeding themselves or their loyal companions.

A Moment of Impact

One Thanksgiving, Tyson and his girlfriend cooked extra food and distributed it to the homeless in downtown Santa Ana. "To see how happy and appreciative the people were, especially on a holiday, was the greatest feeling." This experience highlights the profound impact SEEKING HIM OUTREACH has on the community, bringing joy and sustenance to those in need.

Our Core Values

  1. Compassion Without Judgment: We believe every person deserves kindness, no matter their past or current circumstances.
  2. Dignity for All: We don’t just serve food, we serve with respect, ensuring everyone is seen, heard, and valued.
  3. Community Over Isolation: We aim to create a space where people feel connected, not forgotten, building relationships through our outreach.
  4. Faith in Action: "Seeking Him" is about seeking God through service, living out love by helping those most in need.
  5. Second Chances: We believe in redemption, recovery, and the power of a fresh start, offering encouragement alongside meals.

These values drive our mission and guide every action at SEEKING HIM OUTREACH.
