- Description: Hunger and poverty exist on a 24-hour basis and decrease the ability of the individual and/or families to meet their nutritional needs, achieve their full potential, and to become concerned and involved citizens. Eliminating hunger, providing information and needed resources to persons in need, and introducing the underserved of our community to the Gospel and love of Jesus Christ will improve the quality of life for these individuals and increase their opportunities to become more informed, more self-sufficient, and more committed to the overall health, well-being, and advancement of our community. Ambassador believes that as God has so richly blessed us, so ought we to be a blessing to others. Our vision is for a community that meets the basic needs of its citizenry by introducing or exposing them to Christian love, providing advice on economic empowerment, establishing opportunities for self-improvement, and through modeling beautification of our community. Ambassador believes that eradicating hunger includes eliminating both physical and spiritual hunger. Our long-range goal is to see hunger poverty end in our community. MISSION STATEMENT: The Ambassador Baptist Church Food Distribution Center seeks to fulfill our Biblical mandate to feed the hungry: by eliminating hunger and poverty by feeding individuals and families-including the homeless, seniors on a fixed income, and the working poor, with food donated by the Capital Area Food Bank and other agencies or individuals; by providing emergency assistance to the hungry by providing emergency food assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); by providing food as needed on a 24-hour basis (by referral and appointment); by establishing a future information and referral service to meet the identified needs of food distribution clients; and, by sharing the Gospel through oral, written, and personal communication.
