Have you ever heard
the term Food Poor? What
does it mean to be food poor? Food Poor or commonly referred to as “food
poverty” is defined as ‘the inability to acquire or consume an adequate or
sufficient quantity or quality of food in socially acceptable ways, or the
uncertainty that one will be able to do so.’ Physicians believe food poverty
can have a detrimental impact on physical and psychological well being.
At Destiny Church, we have the privilege of partnering with a local non-profit organization, REACH 702 FOUNDATION, to aid our city and residents in need by acquiring and distributing good quality food with a vision to make an impact in local communities on
a perpetual basis. They have a system in place to provide 5 meals and one treat for a total
of $20.00 per family weekly.
Our goal at Destiny, is to assist this foundation by obtaining needed pantry and household items. We also help with food delivery to multiple communities across the city.
Food distribution is
our first line of partnership with the REACH 702 FOUNDATION. Our goal moving forward is to help provide:
- Clothing
