HELP FEED SOMEONE
Food is a basic need that most of us take for granted, but 1 in 4 American children are at risk of hunger. Metropolitan Ministries provides both hot meals and non-perishable foods to hundreds of people each day in four counties. Here is how you can provide HOPE in our community:
Non-Perishable Foods
Everyday between 80 to 200 Boxes of Hope are provided to homeless and low-income families. These non-perishable foods will feed a family of four for two days. Help us provide Boxes of Hope to families in need. See a list of our most urgent needs: Boxes of Hope, Most Needed Items
