We are so grateful for how God is using our Meal Ministry, and the families we serve are deeply appreciative of your kindness. We currently average around 60 households each week, and new families continue to walk through our doors every distribution.

On the 2nd & 4th Friday of each month, each family receives two meals, which contain a meat and the items to make a meal for a family of five. Also, each Friday we have perishable food available for the families.

While our Meal Ministry is 80% supplied by Costco and the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, we rely heavily on monetary and food donations from our congregation to cover the rest.

Below are some suggested items you can donate to help support this ministry:

Suggested Food Donations:

• Broth: beef, chicken
• Canned Vegetables: potatoes, peas, kidney beans, green beans, corn, diced tomatoes, mixed vegetables
• Instant potatoes
• Cream of Soups: chicken, mushroom
• Any type of pasta
