Overview

Mission

TVNOM's mission is to provide supportive services, community education and cooperative partnerships that foster hope, promote self-sufficiency, community awareness, improving our community, and helping rebuild lives.The Vineyard New Outreach Ministry is a nonprofit organization located in Greenville MS that distributes food, clothing, and other necessities to individuals, children and families that lack these essentials due to low wealth and poverty.

What it reported doing in 2016

The Vineyard Food Pantry and Mobile Hunger Relief Outreach Program to help reduce hunger for individuals and families in impoverished rural counties. The program provides nutrition, health and wellness information to poor and low-income people in Washington, Bolivar and Sunflower counties who use our food pantry services.The program allows us to send food trucks into rural areas, which are steeped in poverty, for hunger relief. There currently is no hunger relief program operating in certain areas. Poor residents in rural southern areas must travel up to 45 minutes to city food pantries for food, including to Vineyard New Outreach Ministry's pantry, causing them added hardship. Many may not make the trip at all because it's too much of a hardship, meaning they may not get hunger relief.
