LOAE/ Joseph's Storehouse Food Ministry provides food, toiletry items and miscellaneous household goods to the needy in the community. Every month we serve around 500 families, loading them up with an overflowing extra large wheelbarrow full. Many that come are elderly, trying to survive on a small social security check that sometimes doesn't meet the bills, much less the food. Others are single parents and disabled. Each person is cared for, and if they want, they have opportunity to sit with a prayer counselor who is more than happy to listen and pray with them. Many say they come for that as much as they do for the food because it lifts their spirits and gives them hope. We have over one hundred volunteers that help make the food distributions successful. The last Saturday of each month is the primary distribution day. A few years back we added the Thursday prior to the last Saturday for the disabled (who have a doctor's note on file), thus allowing them to not have to wait as long. The heart of the ministry is to share God's love with everyone and fulfill his command to help others. "Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto Me." (Matthew 25:40) Truly, the love for the people shines through.
