HISTORY

PAST

God's Storehouse began in 1989 as a street ministry, where we worked out of our vans. We searched for the homeless, and took food and blankets to condemned homes that were occupied by families. We also began to adopt families in need, through various organizations, until we were able to purchase our current building in 2000. We moved into our current facility and began to provide food, clothing, blankets, and other items, as donated, on a weekly basis. In addition to the material items, we offered weekly Bible classes for both adults and youth, prayer meeting, and counseling through the Word of God. We continued our street ministry, as we believe that we must go outside of the four walls to reach people. Each year, we have also been blessed to have the opportunity to provide Christmas for many children and families. Because of the donations from loving individuals, we have provided coats, clothing, toys, bikes, etc. We thank God for our sponsors!

 

PRESENT

The mission for God's Storehouse, is about restoring broken lives through God's Word. For this to take place we are always looking to provide services that people need so they are then able to direct their attention to long-term solutions to their struggles/issues. When the goal is life change for people, their basic day-to-day needs must be met, so then we can address their spiritual health, employment needs, housing, education or other areas of concern through resources and building relationships. Currently we are providing hot meals weekly, groceries, clothing, weekly showers with new clothing, survival kits, pet pantry, mobile ministry, bus tickets and Christmas sponsorship, etc. Most importantly we address issues through biblical counseling, the Word of God, prayer and biblical principles.

 

FUTURE

We have outgrown our current facility. We are seeking to obtain a new building (in addition to the one we presently own) to better minister/serve the community. We currently need a facility with a commercial kitchen; an open area to serve indoor meals; hold group meetings and open-door services; serving as a warming/cooling center, as well as offices for counseling and resources. We have outgrown our current building to the point of having all meals/services/grocery distribution outside... on our open lots, and through our mobile (food truck ministry).
