Monday is Columbus Day.

The Potter's House Ministries will be open.

We're expecting a semi truck full of Sr. boxes, produce, cheese and an order of food. It usually arrives between 9am and 10am. Our crew could use your help. If you're able and available, we'd love to have some extra help Monday morning unloading the truck. If you'd like to call first before showing up, the number is 740-776-4004. Someone will be there by 9am to take your call.

Thanks in advance.

TOGETHER WE'RE BETTER!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT.

Reminder tomorrow is the last day to pick up your kids food boxes at both The Potter's House and 456 Brown Street!! We only have a limited number to give out. The government is now requiring that all children be present to get a box. I apologize for the inconvenience that this is going to cause!

Every day, families walk through our doors carrying burdens that are often invisible—empty cupboards, financial hardship, uncertainty, loneliness, and fear. Through a warm meal, a box of groceries, help filing taxes, children’s programs, community outreach, and a listening ear, we have the privilege of showing the love of Christ in practical ways.
Your generosity makes that possible.
When you give, you’re doing more than making a donation. You’re helping feed hungry families, care for seniors, invest in children, support veterans, and provide hope to neighbors facing difficult seasons. Together, we are reminding people that they are not forgotten and that God’s love is still reaching our community.
Thank you to everyone who makes this ministry possible. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and honored to partner with you in bringing hope, meeting needs, and sharing the love of Christ throughout our community.
If you feel led to support our mission financially, you can make a secure donation using the link below. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us bring hope to our community.
