Feeding the Homeless - 2015
Reaching out to those in need brings great blessings - for both our volunteers and the recipients who are the greatest in need in our community - the homeless! Tirelessly working to create special meals and outreach bags for those who are homeless in Stroudsburg.
Survival Bags for the Homeless
The Feeding Families Board of Directors distribute homeless survival bags to those in need the first Sunday of each month at the Stroudsburg United Methodist Church. Those in need receive a hot meal weekly from the dedicated volunteers at the Methodist Church and survival bags are distributed monthly by Feeding Families ministry. Bags include: Water, drinks, energy bars, socks, shirt, cookies, crackers, soup, stews and various other conveniences and hygiene products. Would you consider making a monthly gift so they can receive this desperately needed survival bag?
