We Will Feed
By: Olivia Hamilton
We Will Feed is our food ministry that helps supplement groceries for our neighbors in need. The majority of people we serve are over the age of 50 with at least 1 small child living in their home. With the Covid-19 pandemic, the greatest need in our community is that families are struggling to keep their pantries stocked all month. People in our community have the opportunity to come once a month and receive a large bag of grocery staples, frozen meats and refrigerated essentials. We receive food from The MS Food Network, Walmart in Madison, Panera in Flowood, and individual donors.
In addition to food, we also provide a variety of hygiene essentials. We offer travel sized soap, shampoo, lotion, dental care packs, razors, deodorant, shoes, socks, underwear, blankets, and coats during the winter months. We are constantly in need of all these items and donors are welcome to contribute monetarily or financially to this. For $50 a month, you can sponsor a family and help us continue to provide essential food and hygiene supplies for those in need.
The biggest need in We Will Feed right now is financial support and volunteers. On Monday and Wednesday mornings volunteers have the opportunity to sort our large food donations, stock shelves, and make up grocery bags for our neighbors. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings we have our We Will Feed program which is when we pass out food to our community members. This is a time to meet physical needs as well as spiritual needs, because our ultimate goal is to pray and share the gospel with as many people as possible. We are encountering a new opportunity to pour into our community spiritually and physically, and we need your help to meet that need. We want 2020 to be memorable as the year we helped more people than ever before!
