Becoming Active in a Food Outreach Program

• There have been some substantive talks between Mississippi Methodist individuals and Conference representatives with the Stop Hunger Now organization to look at the feasibility of opening up a warehouse site here in Mississippi in the not too distant future.

• Also, the St. Andrews gleaning organization has recently relocated to Jackson and opened its offices at Broadmeadow UMC where you can reach the director Bob Fritchey in person or by phone at 601-850-4018 to schedule a gleaning trip for your missions group.

• In addition to its many hurdles to self sufficiency many financially strapped Mississippians are facing the task of paying for ever increasing food prices and for this reason we would like to help as many churches as may be interested in becoming active in a food outreach program in their communities.

Please let me know if you would like to get something started in your church in the area of hunger relief. Or if you and your church group would like a bit more personal help in forming your church missions group or would like some help finding out more about other mission and outreach programs for your church please call me or email me and I will be happy to work with you and your group.
