I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink… I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me.- Matthew 25:35-40
Since 2003, members of Christ the King Church have been gathering on 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month for fellowship and to volunteer to feed the least of these. We produce 300 sandwiches and assemble 150 lunches and deliver them downtown directly to homeless individuals twice per month. Other churches and organizations feed the homeless on other evenings.
This year we partnered with the Christ the King Church youth and the visiting youth from Leipzig to produce twice the amount of sandwiches on the 4th Monday in March and delivered half of them to SEARCH for distribution by their mobile outreach service.
We operate on an annual budget of approximately $1,500. That is only $0.44 per meal served. Please consider the importance of this ministry when donating to the Mission Offering this month and consider joining us on August 11 and 25 at 6:00 p.m. in the church kitchen. No experience is necessary and all ages are welcome to participate!
You can also help the Feed the Homeless Ministry by donating your plastic grocery bags for us to use to distribute the meals in. Just drop the bags off in the church kitchen. Contact Wendy Wiker if you are interested in participating or have any questions.
