As you know there are thousands of poor and low income families and individuals in our communities. Many of them are in need of our help to put food on their tables. Will you help us eliminate hunger in our neighborhoods?

The group that suffers the most from hunger are single Mothers with children, and the homeless.

Many of you have asked how you can help The Father's Heart, Currently our food pantry is very low on food and we need your help to fill our shelves with a variety of food items so that we can continue to fill food boxes for the poor.
