HELP & INFORMATION
Camp David
Camp David was organized in 2016 to provide affordable, highly enriching activities for youth in our community. Our camp opened with 75 young people who sang, studied, learned, and participated in well-supervised and enriching camp activities as well as field trips from 8 am until 5 pm Monday through Friday during the summer when schools were not in session. The campers also received well-balanced breakfast and lunch meals through the USDA-sponsored Summer Food Service Program.
Our Work - FarmShare
In our continued efforts to be a BEACON IN THE COMMUNITY, Christian Fellowship formed a partnership with the USDA-sponsored Farmshare and TEFAP Programs. This partnership enables our Community Development Corporation to receive at no cost and to provide fresh produce, bakery products, canned foods, shelf-stable goods, and frozen foods to low-income households on the fourth Saturday of each month excluding June and July. Our main objectives are to increase access to fresh food in our community and to fight hunger while serving the homeless and low-income households. We are eternally grateful to our Senior Saints Ministry which has willingly prepared the food each Friday before distribution day each month.
The Summer Food Service Program
The Summer Food Service Program is what SFSP connotes. Beginning in the summer of 2016, The Christian Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church became a sponsor- committed to combating childhood hunger by providing free nutritious meals to youth from 4 years to 18 years old during the summer months when schools are not in session. During year one meals were provided to 4 sites, in subsequent years, the number of sites and the number of meals provided increased to the extent that 20 sites were served during summer 2019. Through our efforts, we have prepared, delivered, and served over 20,000 meals over the last 4 years. Not only were we able to provide meals to young people through this program; but we were also able to employ community members, congregants, and youth in our community.
