Description:
In March 1999, Grace Church, a local church in Rolla, Mo., began distributing groceries and USDA commodities to needy families in Phelps County, in conjunction with The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri (Columbia, Mo.) Continuing every month since then, the ministry has assisted thousands of families with items from Feeding America and USDA. Annually about 15,500 individuals (5,400 families) are helped with more than 300,000 pounds of food and other needed items. The ministry was organized as a separate 501c3 organization called Phelps County Faith Distribution in 2006. Members from area churches comprise a local leadership board, led by founding members David and Diane Hagni, Gerald Dowdy and Carl Mathews. Carol Creighton is the organization's volunteer coordinator, and Brad Pettijohn also serves on the board.
