UMBC - Abundant Giving Food Ministry

The Abundant Giving Food Ministry was birthed on November 21, 2014 here at Union Missionary Baptist Church. Our partnership with the Wilmington Branch of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina allows us to be a direct distribution agency. We have been given he opportunity to make a powerful statement in our community..."WE CARE"! Our program is for EVERYONE. We distribute fresh produce to the community at no cost to those receiving it. We currently provide fresh fruits and vegetables which promote a healthier lifestyle for all God's people on the third Friday of each month from 5:00pm to 7:00pm or while supplies last. Occasionally we provide meats and bakery/bread items. Our goal is to be a help to those in need of food. Our program is not just for the homeless and the jobless. We will supply food for the hard working families that represent the backbone of our community. Many live paycheck to paycheck and they earn just enough NOT to qualify for government food assistance. Thank you to our many volunteers unload, setup and sort the food items, hand out food during the distribution, help participants carry food to their cars, clean-up afterwards and most importantly they smile and have fun.
