This is a generic photo of a similar food trailer/mobile kitchen Love In Action is raining money to purchase. |
We are raising funds to purchase a food trailer/mobile kitchen, similar to the one pictured above, to fight hunger in Dothan. We serve almost 200 meals a week to our homeless and needy friends who come to Love In Action. However, there are many more who cannot make it to our ministry center, so we need to go to them. That's what we will be able to do more effectively and efficiently with this mobile kitchen.
This will allow us to provide hot meals to the homeless and needy throughout Dothan, inside and outside the Circle.
There are more than 400 homeless people in Dothan, and food is their second most requested need, second only to shelter.
There are also thousands of people who are food insecure, meaning they lack reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. In fact, 1-in-6 people in the Wiregrass are food insecure. Of that number, 1-in-7 are senior citizens and 1-in-4 are children.
We would contend those numbers are higher in the inner city as we have seen our numbers increase for those needing food. Other ministries have also experienced an increase this year.
With the mobile kitchen, we will be able to serve hot meals to the homeless and needy where they live, and also provide bags of groceries to those living in poverty.
Most importantly, this will provide more outreach opportunities to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They will come for food, and they will also be presented with the "Bread of Life."
