It takes grants and donations of $60,000 per year to continue helping those in need. Our goals are financial viability and sustainability. Our primary focus is to deal with food insecurity among the poor and homeless in the Greenville community. We are the only place in Greenville that prepares and serves a free, midday meal to address this essential need. For some people, this is the only meal of the day. On average, we serve around 25,000 free meals per year. Each meal costs $2, so a little can go a long way.

If you prefer to pay by check, they can be mailed to:
