Overview

Mission

Gods outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that tangibly expresses its love and concern for people in need of food in madison and estill counties by providing supplemental food monthly.

What it reported doing in 2024

Madison county backpack program - children in need are confidentially identified by their teachers, and receive a returnable backpack filled with useful foods such as ravioli, soups, fruit snacks, chips, cereal, popcorn, and other snacks, for the weekend. Commodity supplemental food program - the commodity supplemental food program (csfp) works to improve the health of elderly people at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious usda commodity foods such as grain and milk products, protein, fruits and vegetables. Crock pot for kids - teach children how to cook using a crock pot. Childrens' summer feeding programs - supply food to local children during the summer when school lunch is not available. God's outreach served approximately 32,000 families with supplemental and emergency food in 2024 in madison and estill counties. We provided 3500 backpacks each month for kids to take home for weekend food. Charity tracker - connects 60+ ministries in madison and estill counties with shared information to help better serve those in need. A free service provided by god's outreach.
