TOTAL Ministries

TOTAL Ministries is pleased to be the benefactor of the 3^rd Annual Hub City Empty Bowls Project.  We applaud the efforts of Joey Geier, the Hub Bub staff, and every individual that attended one of the many sessions to make a clay bowl.  This event is truly bringing our community together for a greater cause, and we certainly hope that everyone will plan to attend on Thursday, January 26^th.

Daily there are hundreds of individuals in Spartanburg County that simply struggle with finding food to eat.  In fact, data shows that more than one out of seven households are food insecure, which means they do not always know where they will find their next meal.  Over the past 12 months, TOTAL Ministries’ Food Pantry and Mobile Food Pantry programs have distributed close to 300,000 pounds of foods to over 12,000 households.  The bags of food come from food drives supported by schools, scout troops, churches, and most importantly, individuals like you.   The bags contain many of the basic food staples, such as peanut butter, jelly, canned green beans, corn, and a bag of grits.

We ask for your continued support, and hope that you will join us for the 3^rd Annual Hub City Empty Bowls event on Thursday.   The event is unique in that you pick one of the many handcrafted bowls, which will be filled with a delicious soup from one of the many local restaurants.  Each of the restaurants participating have graciously prepared and donated the available soups.  In addition, a variety of local musicians will be providing entertainment throughout the event.

All of us at TOTAL Ministries thank all of you for finding the time to make this commitment, and for getting involved in this great event.  Your effort has made a profound impact.
