Overview
Mission
House of Zadok Ministries is a local, faith based family run non-profit organization serving families primarily in north St. Louis and north St. Louis county. The neighborhoods we serve have very high crime rates and many people living in poverty. The mission of the House of Zadok is to empower families living in poverty by providing clothing, food and hygiene products as well as many other needs including spiritual encouragement. In 2013, Coach Nisbet and his wife Venus started House of Zadok ministries with a dream to restore hope to communities and families in North St. Louis. Born and raised in the area, Ron and his family decided to follow God's will to pour light, love, and hope inside.
