•  Food for the Hungry provides The Father’s Table of Mount Vernon First Nazarene Church with a $3000 grant.

•  Funds supply weekly hot meals and monthly groceries to families in Knox County.

Father’s Table is a ministry of Mount Vernon First Church of the Nazarene and exists to help those in our community with basic dietary needs. Funds from Food for the Hungry help to make these services possible.

“Coming to these meals has been a huge help to our family. And the food is always so good!” shared Allen, an individual that is served at Father’s Table. Every Wednesday evening from 5-6 pm hot meals are served to 60-100 people. The individuals are provided well-balanced meals in addition to a few items to take home.

On the third Saturday of every month, families in our community are provided a box of groceries based on their household size. In October, Father’s Table served 24 households with children and 30 households without children. Each family is provided with 12 meals per person.

Father’s Table is very grateful for the generosity of the community in giving to Food for the Hungry and appreciates the continued financial support of Food for the Hungry; this support allows Father’s Table to continue to serve the people of Knox County.
