Hey, this is Charlie on my wifes computer. To let those who do not know who we are I am the pastor of Mountain of Faith Fellowship Church, my wife and myself are the directors of Lighthouse Food Pantry. We are located off of Bussiness 6 at 294 W/I Pkwy in Dallas across from Ingles.
We have been operating the food pantry for almost 5 years, we do fund raisers to raise the money to purchase food, yard sales, bar b q's, have had singings and revivals(The Crusade to Stomp Out Hunger) we have received a few grants and donations but the majority of our funds we raise.
I do not have the exact numbers for the year but will have by the end of the week but my last figure , and I am going off memory, wasabout 3,500 families assissted, 8,500 people fed, 180,000 pounds of food distributed and 3,000 hot meals served in the past twelve months. These are not exact but I will post the exact numbers as soon as I calculate them.
In addition we have partnered with the Atlanta Food Bank and hosted a mobile food pantry in October and gave out 10,000 pounds of food to 208 families in a 2 hour period. We will be doing this again Jan 26, Feb 23, Mar 22 and April 26. The times will be from 11:00am - 1:00pm, there are no qualifications, it is open to everyone all you have to do is pull up write you name, address and the county you live in and we will load the food in your car. There is only one stipulation and that is only two families per car.
My wife and I have a heart and a call to this ministry as we have been there, I lost my business, home, vehicles, when the economy fell, it was two weeks before Christmas, we had four little boys and she was 6 months pregnant and my house sold on the court house steps. With that said, we have a desire to help the hurting and feed the hungry.
I hope this tells who we are and if we can help anyone please give us a call 678-363-7470
