My Story/My Mission

I launched this non-profit public charitable organization in January of 2025. As a disciple of Christ, God first called me in early 2023 to be His hands and feet for the hungry. As I started volunteering at food pantries and soup kitchens, the joy inside me skyrocketed and knew I found my place in this world. However, I quickly realized there was a much bigger plan God had for my life when I saw how many people were impacted by the rising costs of food prices even the hardworking. In 2024, I was then led to even bigger projects including several free Community-wide events bringing hundreds together with smiles on their faces! God also called me to rescue and deliver food to the poor, along with organizing food drives and food distribution events, all free to the public. At times, a cold parking lot was all I had to hand food out, but the people still came and showed their gratefulness! I will continue to strive to be the salt and light shining brightly for others.

I want to play a role in increasing unity among all people regardless of race, religion and socioeconomic status. I am filled with a passion to spread hope, love and joy through this mission. My prayers is that you may find yourself being blessed by this organization in some way or another. I guarantee, by God’s grace, and with your help, Feeding The 5,000, Inc. will increase food resources for those facing hardship and increase the number of people whom we can serve! I am humbled and so thankful to ALL the countless volunteers, supporters and selfless donors who have made this possible! Please join this mission in making a difference to those who need us!
