As you prayerfully consider how you will support Isaiah 58 Ministries in the coming year, know that because of our partnerships with Saint Louis Area Foodbank and Operation Food Search, we can help you stretch your giving dollars.
As a tier one partner with Saint Louis Area Foodbank, we are able to purchase food for $.10 per pound. To put this in perspective, consider this: the cost of a box of cereal costs, on average, $4.00. Rather than purchasing that box of cereal to donate to our food pantry, you can instead donate the $4.00 directly to our ministry. Isaiah 58 Ministries is then able to purchase approximately 40 comparable boxes of cereal through the food bank, allowing us to feed even more families. What a difference!
However, please know that your food drives and donations are still very important to our ministry. This is due to the very real issue that the food available at the foodbank varies greatly from week to week and month to month. Therefore, your food donations allow us to continue to provide a wonderful variety of food to our clients.
Give us a call at the food pantry at 314-776-1410 and we will be happy to share with you our greatest immediate food needs.
As always, we thank you for your generosity and hope you will join us in feeding those in need within our community.
