New Beginnings Ministries of Peoria - God's Table Food Pantry

God's Table is a food pantry ministry that was established on december 3, 2011. Its mission is to assist the homeless and feed the hungry. The pantry was founded by god and assigned to the care of Sis. Barbara Miller, whose passion and dedication has prompted support from various sponsors to include: New Beginnings Ministries of Peoria, God's Ministries, D.A.V. Heart of Illinois - Chapter 1, Imago Dei Church, Kroger, Midwest Food Bank (which is the major contributor of food). On average, the pantry's distribution of food to the surrounding community is between 70 - 85% during the summer months and 62 - 78% during the winter months. Our mission statement: Our mission is to carry on the good works that have been appointed to us by scripture: for i was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: i was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: i was a stranger, and ye took me in. Matthew 25:35 (kjv). Our vision: To join forces with already established food pantries throughout the city & to deliver food to those who are unable to travel due to lack of transportation it is our intention to see that no one goes hungry in our community. Our short-term goal is to open a kitchen to prepare meals, as well as, to teach individuals how to prepare meals themselves. our motto is: "if you teach individuals how to fish, they will be able to feed themselves and teach others". Our long-term goal is to open food pantries at various locations throughout the peoria area. It is our belief that no child should go hungry. we realize that there are unfortunate circumstances within our communities that make life difficult. Therefore, we feel that it is our christian responsibility to provide food services that will give the proper nourishment to such families. We sincerely believe that god is honored in our effort to help make a difference in the lives of others and that god's favor will continue to rain on this ministry. God's Table Ministry hours: every fourth Saturday 11:00 am - 12:30pm.
