groceries + classes + service + discipleship
The food co-op provides grocery assistance to singles, youth, and families in need in the Rockaway Beach, Merriam Woods, Forsyth, and Bull Creek area. Through combining education on budgeting, cooking, meal planning, and parenting with service opportunities and grocery assistance, this program strives to empower individuals in need to become self-sustaining. More than a handout, the food co-op works to help people develop sustainable, self-sufficient lives while also learning about the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. In His earthly ministry, Jesus proclaimed salvation through Him alone, and He also ministered to people's earthly needs. It is our desire to minister as Jesus did - to share eternal hope and to meet practical needs.
“A hunger-free zone may be possible, but developing the dependency-free zone is the real challenge.” - Robert Lupton, Toxic Charity
Take Part in the Food Co-op
Anyone can take part in the food co-op. To do so means that you are willing to learn and serve through the food co-op as a condition of receiving groceries. The program is designed to provide valuable skills to help people find ways to sustain their families while also being able to receive grocery assistance while they earn and serve. Through this type of structure, participants become invested and are given dignity rather than being treated as a charity case. We see each person as valuable, loved, and made in the image of God - capable of doing extraordinary things, and it is our goal to help you reach your potential by empowering you. Email info@bridgeoffaithcc.com to inquire about signing up for the food co-op, or simply show up to the next meeting (posted below).
