It’s more than just a meal. 🥖🚌

When our Helping The Homeless Ministries mobile food bus pulls up, it’s about more than just distributing groceries.

It’s about dignity.

It’s about loving our neighbors.

No strings attached. No shame-after all, we ALL have experienced hard times.

It’s about looking a neighbor in the eye, sharing a smile, giving a hug, and letting our homeless and vulnerable community members know they are seen.

It’s about letting people know they are seen, and cared about.

It’s about giving that hug, that prayer, and helping bear one another’s burdens as God’s Word tells us to do in Galatians 6:2,

Hunger is tough, but community is tougher. And love is stronger!!!

We are so grateful for people who are compassionate and giving!

May the Lord bless all who give and all who served today!

Hello supporters of Helping the Homeless Ministries!

Wheels up, hearts open! 🚌✨
The first 3 Saturdays and the second Tuesday of every month, our mobile food bus hits the road to bring hot meals, grocery staples, and a reminder to our neighbors experiencing food insecurities or homelessness that they are not forgotten.

But we can’t keep the engine running without you.

Proceeds from our Thrift Store helps pay the extremely high and now increasing rents, insurance, fuel -diesel and overhead expenses.

Your donations to our food pantry and mobile bus directly fill the plates of families, individuals, and anyone facing hard times in our community.

🛒 Items we need most right now:
* Easy-to-open pull-tab cans (soups, stews, tuna)
* Ready-to-eat soups, snacks (granola bars, fruit cups, nuts)
* Hydration staples (bottled water, juice packs)
* Dry goods (pasta, rice, cereal)
How you can help today:
📦 Drop off donations: Tuesdays and Thursdays 11-4PM
And Tuesdays-Saturdays 10-6PM (only no perishables) at our Thrift Store
🔄 Spread the word: Share this post to help us reach more neighbors!

Let’s keep rolling, keeping feeding, and keep loving our community. Thank you for being the driving force behind what we do! 🎒❤️

We are most grateful for your support and donations!

We are located at 7040 George Washington Memorial Hwy Gloucester VA-

Please make sure to knock hard, ring the doorbell, and wait a few minutes for us to get to the door because sometimes we might be on the phone and can’t get there before you walk off.

Thank you, and God bless you!

Wheels up, faith in action! 🚌✨

At Helping The Homeless Ministries Driving Out Hunger mobile Food Bus pantry, we are a faith-based mission called to love our neighbors as ourselves. The Bible says GO YE!!! Our heart is rooted in Matthew 25:35-40:

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink... whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Every week, the 1st 4 Saturdays and 1 Tuesday a month ministry team and our mobile food bus hits the road to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus—bringing freshly smoked hot meals, grocery staples, and hope to children, families, and individuals experiencing homelessness. Even grandparents raising grandchildren, and veterans.

But we can’t keep the engine running or the smoker going without our community.

Your donations directly answer the prayers of vulnerable neighbors of all ages facing hard times.

And that is a big deal!

We are super thankful to the Sanders Community Foundation and their team for the Grant given to us to be able to purchase much needed meats and food for the families we serve!

Also thankful to Cindy and Pearl who served today!

Also very grateful to some of our Helping the Homeless Thrift Store customers who donated a variety of non-perishable foods to us, as well as Carol Sutton!

When people give, it adds up to a lot and makes a big difference to those who are struggling with food insecurities. Thank you for being beacons of Hope!

At Helping The Homeless Driving Out Hunger, we believe that everyone deserves a warm meal and a full stomach, no matter their age or circumstances.

The first 4 Saturdays of every month and 1 Tuesday a month, our mobile food bus hits the road to bring fresh meals, grocery staples, and a reminder to our neighbors experiencing poverty and homelessness that they are not forgotten.

And this is so needed because most Food Pantrys are not open on weekends only on weekdays when most people would have to work.

But we can’t keep the engine running without you.

Your donations to our food pantry and mobile bus directly fill the plates of children, the elderly, even some raising their grandchildren, families, and individuals facing hard times in our community.

Every bit of what you donate is given to struggling hungry people of all ages!

We are very grateful to those who serve, and to The First Saturday Sisters, the Gloucester Mathews Care Clinic (Gloucester Mathews Care Clinic had an October Fest on Sunday October 4th and a well known professional Chef preparing German food. What wasn’t eaten was donated to us); to Nikki West, and to Bellamy Church for these donations.
