Amy F and her Free Food Ministries team do a remarkable job of providing food for free, literally, for anyone who needs it. And there are lots of people who need it now. The requests have leaped from 200 to 2000 families per week.
But where does the food come from? A portion comes from the Birch Community, a non-profit that acts somewhat as a brokerage location for food. Similar to the Oregon Food Bank but easier to work with, and with a better variety.
The Free Food Ministries pays $125 per month for their participation.
If you are able to contribute, above and beyond your giving to the church, so many people would be benefited. You may mail a check to the church (made out to WUMC, memo: FFM) or give through the link on our website (put FFM in the special instructions.)
Thank you so much for your generous hearts!
