The Community Lunch, which is offered every Tuesday from 11:00am to 1:00pm, is a free, simple, hot and nutritious meal. If a diner is able to contribute toward the cost of the food, donations are accepted but not expected.

Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy. Our Community Store is open from 9am to 3pm every Tuesday.

We offer a multitude of items for the neighborhood to peruse. There is something that you need or want, but don’t have the money to pay, we offer volunteer opportunities for you to “pay” for your necessities.

Charity Mission is an extension of Amazing Grace Baptist Church. It houses up to 14 men who have problems with drugs, alcohol, and many other issues. Contacts come from many sources and the men all stay free of charge as long as they abide by the common sense rules, which includes daily church attendance, no alcohol, no drugs, etc. NO GOVERNMENT FUNDS are accepted nor wanted. This ministry is run entirely by, and out of, the hand of God.

Men's Breakfast's
Join us for the Men's Breakfast at 8:00 am, always planned for the 4th Saturday of the month.



Come enjoy a great meal, meet a new friend, and share some great thoughts, stories, and conversation.



This breakfast is open to men of all ages.

Every first and third Friday of the month, volunteers from Fargo Faith and other area churches come together to provide groceries for needy families in the Fargo-Moorhead area. On a typical Friday, the Fargo Faith Food Ministry will serve anywhere between 100-150 people.



The mission of the Fargo Faith Food Ministry is to help the less fortunate by distributing food to lessen their financial burden of a grocery bill.



Faith Food Ministry is funded by food or cash donations, grants, Fill the Dome food and the Great Plains Food Bank.



FOR CLIENTS:

Any person who is need of food to feed themselves or their families and cannot afford to do so are invited to receive food from the Faith Food Ministry. We distribute food on the first and third Fridays of each month from 1:30-3 p.m. All that we require is a photo ID. If you have not received food from us in 2020, you will also need to fill out a short form to receive food. This form is to verify your identity and the size of your family. Other than this form, no referrals are required and we will never ask any questions about your situation- all those who are in need of food are welcome. Clients are welcome to receive food both Fridays in the month if necessary.



Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have adjusted our distribution procedures:

We ask that clients drive into our parking lot entering from the west entrance off of 10th Street.



NOTE THAT THE PARKING LOT DOES NOT OPEN UNTIL 1:00 P.M.



Traffic Control volunteers will direct you in the parking lot.



Vehicles will be moved through the parking lot towards the distribution point by Traffic Control. At the distribution point, you will then be directed by a Food Pantry representative to exit your vehicle to go to the front entrance to register and receive your carts of groceries.



YOU MUST BE WEARING A MASK IN ORDER TO REGISTER AND RECEIVE YOUR FOOD.



You will then take your carts of food to your vehicle and load your vehicle. Once you complete that, you will return the cart(s) to be sanitized for the next clients.



FOR VOLUNTEERS:

We are always in need of servants to help out on these Fridays! We look for help with setup and stocking in the morning, help serving the food in the afternoon (we serve the community from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.), and help tearing down and cleaning up after the serving is complete. Just come on over and help or CONTACT US for more information.





Please contact the church at (701) 232-6844 with any questions that you have!

People in our community often have difficult choices to make between rent, other essentials, and food. Last year we supplied more than 1500 food boxes to the community. Those in need are able to ask for a monthly food box by calling
701-772-6600 ext. 206.
Food box pickups are every Tuesday and Thursday between 2:30 and 3:30 pm. Please call before 10 am on the day you will be picking up your box, and bring a photo ID when you come to pick up.

COVID-19 Note: Until further notice, food boxes will be prepackaged and picked up at Door 2 (under the green awning). Thank you!

Luther’s Kitchen
Luther’s Kitchen serves a free lunch every Friday, from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm, in the Parish Center at First Lutheran Church.

Luther’s Kitchen has been serving the community since 1982. The menu is primarily a variety of soups, hot dishes and salads. On average, they serve about 80-100 guests every week. Luther’s Kitchen is staffed solely by volunteers, and is supported by contributions of both food and money from First Lutheran Church and the Great Plains Food Bank. In addition, food donated from Cash Wise Foods and other sources is used as part of the day’s meal, or guests may take it with them for later.

Food Pantry

First Shiloh Baptist Church Food Pantry was established by Mr. King Peterson and Mrs. Kenvil Echols. The purpose of the pantry was and remains a place where low to very low income individuals and families that reside in our designated area and meet the income guidelines can receive donations of food and clothing. We receive food from The Food Bank of WNY and Wegmans. Our goal is to reach as many needy families as possible and provide them with necessities. With God’s help we will reach our goal.

St. Clement's Food Pantry is continuing its important work in a safe and physically distanced way. The need is high. They are distributing pre-packed bags of nonperishable food items. Currently, the most critical need is for volunteers to collect donations from different parts of the city in the days leading up to Thursday of each week. St. Clements could also use volunteers on-site for line monitoring and computer tracking on Fridays and Saturdays. Please email Simone to coordinate.

As part of our offering every Sunday, St. Luke’s collects non-perishable food items for the food pantry at St. Clement’s. Volunteers are always needed by St. Clements, located at at 423 W 46th Street, to pack food on Thursdays (5:30pm-8:30pm) and to help distribute food on alternating Fridays (9am-11am). For more information, email info@stlukeinthefields.org.

Dedicated to serving the needs of the hungry.
Over 300 families are provided more than 1100 meals every month in Rochester NY through the St. Andrew's food pantry.
Every age, race and religion is serviced by the pantry. Single mothers and children make up the majority of those whose need we meet.
We are part of a network of food pantries in Monroe County serving a specific section of the 14609 and 14621 zip codes.

Beloved Official.png
Beloved Community Food Pantry/Comunidad Amada Despensa de Alimentos, is now officially open as a bilingual food pantry for the residents of Southside Winston-Salem and beyond. We are a partner agency with Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, which allows us to provide ample nutritious food for the community. In honoring our goal to respect the dignity of every human being, we offer client choice- meaning that our clients choose their food, rather than we select it for them.
In the time before the food pantry opens, we offer hospitality: coffee, snacks, and the opportunity to create community with one another.
Please see the flyer below for our upcoming days and times.

We are active in every zip code in America to feed, shelter, assist and equip the poor.
Poverty is so often the result of - and the catalyst for - chronic struggles with hunger, addiction, housing insecurity, mental illness, unemployment, educational voids and various forms of abuse. These interconnected struggles continue year after year, and often span generations. That's why The Salvation Army works to meet the needs of the whole person through short and long-term assistance - first alleviating the symptoms of poverty and then addressing the root issues that cause it.

Food Pantry – the church stocks a pantry of non-perishable food items and distributes these items to families in need.
Distribution is on Thursdays, 9:30 am to 11:00 am.

St. Elizabeth’s Supper Program – volunteers provide, prepare and serve support on the 3rd Saturday of each month to the residents of St. Elizabeth’s Homeless Shelter.

Parish Nurses – volunteer health care providers available to the church as the need requires.

Lutheran Advocacy Ministry – New Mexico – called to advocate for justice in public policy.

Prayer Bead Ministry – meets monthly for creating prayer beads and thoughtful prayer.

Thanksgiving Turkey Ministry – Holiday meals items collected and provided for families in the community.

Services
Food — More than 1,400 households per month visit our three free Client Choice stores in Trenton and Princeton for quality, heart-healthy foods and personal care products; regular delivery to clients who are older or have disabilities; urban community gardens; free health screenings through partner Capital Health System; and nutrition education.


Housing — Our Homelessness Prevention program stabilizes up to 700 households annually through emergency assistance via back rent, security deposit, utilities, and mortgage aid. Our Housing Stability program identifies and works in partnership with individuals and families through one-on-one progress meetings, connection to untapped services for which they are eligible, life and job skills training and mentoring, and extended financial support to establish housing stability.

Job Support — Some 60 adult trainees enroll each year for on-site job and customer service skill-building experience in our pantry operations; online curriculum for learning and certification in food handling and retail/customer service; life skills mentoring; and job search and interview skills guidance.

License to Succeed—This program assists with costs, fines, fees, and testing associated with obtaining or restoring a driver’s license, a key factor in qualifying for more and better-paying jobs.
