Faith Deliverance Christian Center filled the bleachers with donations for the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore! 8,565 lbs. of food was collected, which equates to over 7,100 meals that will be provided to those struggling with hunger in our community!
The Faith Deliverance Christian Center will run a food drive from May 15th to May 22 as part of the Church Rotation Program. They are the first of the faith-based organizations who signed up at the orientation held in April at the FoodBank of SEVA to run a food drive as part of this program.
The Church Rotation Program is a citywide initiative to combat food insecurity. By mobilizing our faith-based communities in this effort, we have an opportunity to make a true difference in the fight to feed the hungry.
The program is simple and effective: On one Sunday, the pastor will distribute We Feed bags to the congregation and instruct them to return next Sunday with the bags full of food. The next Sunday the congregation returns with full We Feed bags and sorts the food for delivery to the Foodbank. If you already operate a food pantry, then the food will first go to stocking your pantry and whatever is leftover will be donated. We Feed will provide the bags to run the program, and recirculate them to the next church after each event. We have also developed a mobile app that helps facilitate the food drive and tracks participation.
