Church, School & Community Development

Food For The Poor Church and School and Community Development generates and carries out projects identified as the most needed. Working solely with churches, schools and groups.

City and community groups such as the Chamber of Commerce or individual businesses will also work with church and school. A women’s empowerment group may want to work with a women’s group in one of the countries that we serve.

Church and school works closely with those groups to develop a project plan, which includes supplementary support literature and also provides onsite visits from Food For The Poor speaker to discuss fundraising and support of those in need.

The department is utilizing the Internet with events that are web based such as the all nighter for the poor event and is always striving to branch out and talk to younger generations.

Church and School and Community Development works with organizations to provide an opportunity for community building and fundraising through participation in service projects on behalf of the poor. Our service projects range in size and scope — from Operation Starfish, a fundraiser geared toward schools, to small-scale, targeted fundraising with local businesses. We work closely with you to develop a project plan, which includes supplementary support literature and an onsite visit from a Food For The Poor speaker to discuss fundraising and support of those in so much need.
