Feeding Families, Sharing Christ's Love
At Make Plain, Jesus Global Ministries, we believe in being the hands and feet of Christ right here in our community. Our Food Assistance Program is driven by a simple mission: to ensure that families and individuals in our neighborhood don't go hungry. Whether you are facing a temporary setback, a seasonal hardship, or just need a helping hand to get through the week, our doors and our hearts are open to you.
We offer a judgment-free, welcoming space where you can receive nutritious food staples and a warm smile. You don’t have to walk through difficult times alone. Let us help take a little weight off your shoulders.
