MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Our Mission is to meet the most basic needs of hungry and vulnerable people in our community while giving them paths of hope for their future.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Soup Kitchen Supported by volunteers each month for the meal and distribution mission. The soup kitchen has grown into an ecumenical, community-wide project that serves on average 170 meals daily. Meals are prepared fresh each day. Meals are served Monday through Saturday 10:30AM to 12:00 PM, regardless of the holiday or weather, and on Saturdays Blessing Bags are provided so that guests have food for Sundays, seven days a week. Food Distribution We distribute food to any 501(c)3 agency feeding the hungry in Montgomery and surrounding counties. Non-profit organizations can pick up food and supplies at our facility Monday - Saturdays. Deliveries and donations of food can be brought to our facility Monday - Saturdays. We distribute thousands of pounds of food annually to over 30 partner agencies. We use volunteer drivers and volunteers to support this mission. Human Services Our space is limited so we use the atrium and hallway for things like hair cuts, toiletry bag distributions, Legal Services, vaccinations, bottled water during the summer. We partner with other groups now for regular Shower events that include a meal, a take away brown bag meal. Partners manage the showers, hair cuts, clothing and camping needs. This is a once a month event at our location. Starting March 2019 we will begin Blessing Bags for an opportunity for a Sunday bagged meal and time for fellowship or social time with different groups of volunteers and organizations. We were gifted with 900 pairs of socks before winter. Plan is to be more proactive in sourcing winter gear such as hats, gloves, socks and underwear before next winter. We are also looking at several opportunities to bring in a mobile laundry mat based on input from our patrons.
