Lavaca’s Jude 22: Food Ministry is on a mission and that mission is to “Make a difference in our community through love and compassion.”
The ministry is a part of Lavaca First Assembly of God, located at 804 East Main. The nutritional needs are so great throughout the community, and this outreach is ministering to both physical and spiritual needs.
They need help in continuing this work. Food donations from the community have been completely depleted and need to be replenished.
You can donate several different ways. First, you can drop any non-perishable food item off at Steffey’s Pizza in Lavaca or you can drop off at the CVs in Lavaca. “We will pick up every two to three weeks or as needed, explained Pantry Coordinator, Stephanie Hubbard. Our local pantry side is pretty bare.”
Her husband, Frankie Hubbard, is the Pantry Director. ““When you give to Jude 22 there will never be a doubt about where and who you will be helping. It will be the family in front of you at CV’s who has to put something back out of their basket due to a lack of money. The child that sits next to yours in the cafeteria scarfing every bite down knowing it will be tomorrow until the next meal. It is these We long and love to help!”
Any contributions or assistance would be helpful. Let’s help them continue to bless others through this ministry. As Frankie put it, “the families we serve are the true blessing.”
