Sharing God's Bounty: The Bread Ministry at Grace of God Ministries International
At Grace of God Ministries International, every act we carry out leans towards compassion. It is only through extending God’s love to one and all in our neighborhood that we can grow. To further this spirit, we conduct simple acts of kindness. Our Bread Ministry plays an important role in this mission by giving essential food assistance to individuals and families facing hunger in Bladensburg, Maryland, and the surrounding areas.
We distribute fresh and non-perishable food to people who cannot afford to buy food on their own. The Bread Ministry operates a food pantry distribution program. We open our doors to anyone who needs anything from our offerings of a variety of fresh produce, including fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, depending on seasonal availability. We also distribute a selection of non-perishable food items like canned goods, grains, and protein sources.
A Dignified Environment for All
While providing essential food items is our primary focus, the Bread Ministry goes beyond simply filling empty plates. Our volunteers create a welcoming and dignified environment for all who visit. We strive to build relationships with those we serve, offering a listening ear and a sense of community alongside the food assistance.
How You Can Help
The Bread Ministry relies on the generosity of our community to continue serving those in need.
Food Donations
We welcome donations of non-perishable food items with a long shelf life. Canned goods, such as pasta, rice, and beans, are always in high demand. You can also donate fresh produce to help ensure our pantry offers a balanced and nutritious selection of food.
Volunteer Your Time
Our volunteers are the heart of the Bread Ministry. They help with tasks like sorting and organizing food donations, packing food bags, and distributing food to our clients. Even a few hours of your time can make a significant difference.
Financial Donations
Financial contributions allow us to purchase food in bulk and ensure a consistent supply for those who rely on our services. Every dollar donated goes directly towards purchasing food for our pantry.
