Food Ministry
Our Food Ministry reaches those who just need a little extra love during a difficult time to helping fight against food insecurity. We collect and deliver food to share with the homeless, the elderly, and families in need. We are able to do this through the generosity of our congregation, the community, and partnerships with organizations and groups. Join us as we share the love of God and make a positive impact in our neighborhoods through food.
FEED THE KIDS
The FEED THE KIDS for Summer Program fills bags weekly with food and snacks to distribute to the children of Mansfield ISD who are food insecure. If you are looking for an activity to do with your family and give back to our community, this great serving opportunity happens all summer long. Come join us! You can also help by donating food for the bags.

- Individual Mac-N-Cheese cups

MEALS ON WHEELS
Our church is the drop-off point for the Mansfield area Meals on Wheels program of Tarrant County. Delivering meals at the front door for our homebound neighbors is one of our ongoing volunteer opportunities with Meals On Wheels. Volunteers come from all walks of life: individuals, couples, retirees, stay-at-home moms, and dads, as well as groups. Anyone who can spare 1 ½ hours just one day per week Monday through Friday can change someone’s life for the better.
If you would like to learn more about volunteering weekly or as an occasional sub, contact missions@fmcm.org.
