feeding our community
A Cup of Love Ministry is blessed to serve our community and help thousands of families each year.
Food Insecurity reaches across socio-economic levels and does not only affect the homeless. We serve over 500 people weekly through the Free Food Pantry and over 600 people weekly through the Free Buffet Line. This is our heart, to make certain all that come through these doors walk away filled with a healthy meal and have what they need to provide for their family. Many families are coming to A Cup of Love for the first time as the cost of living escalates. We are seeing an increase from last year in families and individuals at A Cup of Love with the 2025 numbers up from the large 2024 increases. A Cup of Love operates Monday-Friday, 10am-2pm serving hot meals through our Free Buffet Line and handing out groceries at our Free Food Pantry to All in need. There are no restrictions on the amount of visits per person or family.

All Financial Donations for Ministry Expenses
We are so thankful for all the support from our caring community. There is always someone here to help anytime we are in need of supplies or just some help unloading the food trucks. We have expenses like any other place of business and donations are always appreciated.
Many items are needed at the ministry besides food. Serving plates, cups, paper towels, plastic cutlery, serving gloves, hygiene products, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies are a few of the non-edible items used daily.
Please prayerfully consider partnering with us monthly or providing a one-time gift to share our monthly expenses. Thank you and God Bless!
