in Lebanon, MO, The Free Store Ministry, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation that has been serving God and their community since 1999. Our mission is to meet educational, physical and spiritual needs through programs based on Christian principles. Our goal is to equip, educate and empower individuals to develop their fullest potential regardless of their social or economic background. We cont

inuously search out and make available resources to help them achieve their goals. In all our programs, we strive to fulfill “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). We want to help others have what we would like for ourselves and encourage others to do the same. The manner in which we offer assistance reflects this belief. People are allowed a part of the process by selecting what will best provide for their need. We don’t believe in putting someone’s picture on the front page of the paper or on the news or even on the pages of this website just because they come for assistance. In loving and serving others, we believe that protecting privacy is important and provides peace of mind to those being served. Individuals and groups are able to provide volunteer labor, supplies, funds and more. We operate on 100% volunteer basis. We don’t require a commitment and any amount of time is greatly appreciated. Browse through the different programs for unique opportunities to help. Community Service is always welcome. We have endless opportunities and are open to suggestions. Because our services are open to everyone, this allows caring people to utilize the resources available to help others as well. Please feel free to contact us with your ideas! “Dear children, let us not love with words or in tongue but with actions and in truth, ” (1 John 3:18) “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)

Sizzlin' summer is here, and we've been sharing all the cool stuff coming up in our community. We even have "cool" news of our own about a huge blessing we received from Family Church! They collected the entire month of May and were able to deliver 73 fans! How incredible is that?!! We are overwhelmed by their generosity and praise God that we will have what we need to help people. A huge thank you to all who donated. God bless you! ❤️

When school is out for summer, many families feel the added pressure of providing extra meals and snacks at home each day.

That is why we offer an extra bag of food for each child at home during June and July through our Children’s Summer Program for registered clients.

From breakfast items and easy lunches to snacks and pantry staples, these extra groceries help families stretch their budgets a little further during the summer months.

Community support helps make this program possible and helps ensure local children continue to have access to food all summer long.

Boswell Aquatic Center
Dinner at 5:30. Swimming at 6.

LOOK AT OUR NEW SIGN!!! Isn't it beautiful! ❤️ We haven't had a new sign in almost 20 years. Loretta Russell Young , you constantly bless us, but this is over-the-top amazing! Thank you so much for all the planning, designing, and foot work you put into this. Words can't express how grateful we are. Thank you for helping us look sharp, especially with all the Route 66 Festivities. You are a blessing 🙌❤️ If anyone needs signs, banners, logos or other professional business branding, Loretta is your gal. She loves this community and Route 66 and she has served and sacrificed for all the years I have known her (almost 40 😁).

We had such a productive work day on Wednesday. I am so thankful for our wonderful community partners! James Christensen's hard-working bunch from Redemption Housing came and worked non-stop for 7 hours. Together with our volunteers, they managed to process a garage full of donations and organize their storage. Hallelujah! Thank you all so much for a job well done!
