St. John's supports Family Life Ministries with monthly financial monies and food donations.  Below is some important information about this wonderful and needed ministry.

Not To be Served, But to Serve

Those at Family Life Ministries have open ears and hearts to the cry of the poor and oppressed - this is a community concern not a denominational one.  We must do it together, for the poor and needy will always be with us. 

The mission of Family Life Ministries is to help relieve the physical needs of those who fall between the cracks of society, the poor, the distressed, and the underprivileged.

FACTS
Family Life Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit organization supported by private donations, church mission funds, grants, and company Human Resource funds.  Family Life has one full time Director and well over one hundred regular volunteers who oversee ministry duties.

This ministry was founded in 1982 with the mission to provide immediate assistance for those in need in our service area.  Clients are thoroughly screened for eligibility through local agencies and sources.  After screening, they are helped on the basis of their need up to three times per year.  We encourage and assist them in finding employment.  In addition, we give counseling and share financial management ideas with interested clients.  It is our goal to assist, pray with, and encourage, in order to get them back on their feet. With the help and direction of God, volunteers, and financial assistance, we will continue this ministry for many years to come.

OPPORTUNITIES
So where do you fit in?  We need your prayers, financial and physical support.  You can act as a volunteer or a spokesperson in your church or civic group.  You can assist us with food drives, or donate furniture and other household goods which we would pass on to a grateful client.  We will even pick it up for you!  Call for pick-up: 404.761.6302
