FOOD: LOCAL
It’s more than just food.
SERV Food Local is a local outreach ministry of SERV International. We use food as a platform to share Christ. It all starts with FOOD, and leads to so much more.
SERV hosts monthly pack-outs to assemble 700+ food boxes that are then distributed throughout Cherokee County.
SERV has changed the way LOCAL COMMUNITIES distribute FOOD boxes
Last year 2020 SERV donated to over 60,191 individuals and 14,400 families and over 321 tons of food to Churches and Organizations assisting to reach the needs of families, individuals, children, seniors, veterans stricken by poverty or unemployment.
In 2020, we served families, individuals, children, seniors, and veterans stricken by poverty or unemployment.
