Get Out There!

Have you ever gone to bed hungry? Do you have to choose which bills to pay this month because you cannot pay them all? In the United States, 46 million people suffer from hunger every day. 1 in 5 children are affected by hunger.

Hunger affects every aspect of life for a child. It leaves them unable to focus in school or participate in extracurricular activities. As a teacher for 19 years and a pastor for 14 years, my mission is to help reduce hunger in the world one person at a time. Food costs have risen 25.8% since 2020. This additional cost is making it nearly impossible for working families to provide food for their children.

While no one can help solve all hunger in our world, each of us can do something to help. Donations of food, money, and your time help us to purchase essential food items to help families in need. Our local Mercer County Food Pantry does a wonderful job battling food insecurity, but they cannot do it all.
