Expanding Essential Food

We all know how vital food can be in bringing people together. From a plate of home cooked food to the groceries that make those meals possible, we have seen so much joy in our Essential Food program. We have a neighbor who has been coming to our building since it was the YMCA and her kids were in daycare. She watched them grow up in Jackson and has seen downtown change significantly. Every month now, she comes to receive food and prayer at the same building she used to bring her kids.

The number of lives and neighbors we see weekly is only growing. This summer, we plan to move our food pantry across the street to our much larger facility to house more food, pray for more people, and help more in the community. The equipment, freezers and refrigerators, shelving, and staff increase will be large but we are excited to be able to share Christ more in our city! With that growth comes need in the form of donors and people who want to sponsor one of our families monthly. There are also additional expenses with moving to our new facility.
