Greenville First United Methodist Church - The Joseph Ministry

The Joseph ministry is an ecumenical ministry that provides a 30-35 pound box of food to over 200 qualified families on the third Saturday of the month. The families are screened at the Department of Human Resources to be at or below poverty level. Funds for the ministry are provided by donations from individuals, Churches, and businesses. All funds go directly to support the ministry. Annually this ministry distributes over 70,000 pounds of food to families across Butler County. Food Pantry: The food pantry gives food to transits traveling through looking for a meal, as well as to local people/families in need of food for a short term. Usually these are people that have given out of money before funds are in fro the following month. Food is given by individuals of the church to people who have been approved through DHR. Christian literature is also placed in the bags so that they are fed physically and spiritually.
