Location Overview

We strive to be good stewards of donations received. We have been a 501c3 mission since 2005. We share the parking lot with the Choctaw Church of Christ but are not affiliated with the church. Our goal is to serve the needy families in Van Buren County only. Every household can receive food twice a month. Those with the last name beginning with A-K come the first and third Wednesdays. Those with last names from L-Z come the second and fourth Wednesdays. The fifth Wednesday is  for new people or those that haven't come during the month or only one time or missed a week. Each neighbor can receive food twice a month and USDA foods once a month. New families can come anytime for their first visit.
