WHAT WE DO
promote resiliency
Our Mission:
Creating communities across America to equip those in need of healthy food.
Our Vision:
An America where everyone has the certainty of a healthy meal and the opportunity to connect and grow with their neighbors
How We Serve Families
Joining a Food Security Group stretches families’ food budgets and brings
supportive relationships in a community setting where neighbors get to know each other.
Here’s how it works!
We buy food from a local food bank and fresh produce vendor
Our truck delivers the food for the members to unload
The steering committee collects fees and organizes meeting flow and upcoming events
Once food is divided among the families the meeting begins
Members lead a devotional, pray for one another, and learn about nutrition and healthy lifestyles
Families grow through supportive friendships and learn life skills that lead to resiliency
