Isaiah 58 Ministries is a non-profit agency that has been in existence in South Saint Louis city since 1970. Originally known as 4 Church Association, it was established to meet the needs of low-income individuals in our community through direct services including a food pantry, clothing closet, and utility assistance.
After almost 60 years of service we continue to do wonderful work through our various food outreach programs that now include a choice food pantry that provides shelf stable foods, a weekly fresh food distribution, and holiday food bags. During the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas alone, we serve over 700 families, supplying them with bags of food as well as gift cards to purchase a turkey or whatever their holiday meal is lacking.
In addition, Isaiah 58 Ministries has a clothing room with gently used clothing items, hosts a yearly Back-to-School Fair for students to receive school supplies and other items, and a holiday store that opens to allow individuals to shop for toys and other gifts for their families.
In 2024 we launched our long awaited shower ministry. Every Wednesday we welcome between 8 and 10 unhoused guests to shower and receive clothing and other essential hygiene items.
While our organization continues its many vital programs that have served this community for years, we are always seeking new ways to touch the lives of those we serve.
As we look to the future of the organization, we hope to empower those in need of assistance, guiding them to lead lives of confidence and independence. We strive to develop lasting, positive change for the Saint Louis community and invite your support on our journey.
