The Hunger Ministry is the food ministry that has developed out of the Ministries Center over the years. It is fitting that the pantry is named after part of the Lord’s Prayer where we thank God for the provision of our food. Many times, throughout this ministry’s life people have come spiritually broken and physically hungry. God provided the eternal Bread of Life in Jesus, and we are called to share the temporary bread so people can hear of Him. The Hunger Ministry provides food, baby food, diapers (baby and adult), household cleaning supplies, personal hygiene, and feminine hygiene products to families in crisis.
