Daily Bread

This program is dedicated to reducing hunger in our community. AGAPE distributes food and provides referrals to other existing food banks and pantries in our area. We also offer supplemental meals during the week to complement these existing food assistance programs as many existing food bank resources throughout our region are only available on a monthly or weekly basis. Emergency Food- food always available—ask our Front Desk Assistants.

TOGO Food 4 Kidz

  • Children participating in school lunch programs have access to healthy meals throughout the week, but often return to food barren homes and do not eat a healthy meal for the entire weekend. Teachers report that those children have trouble concentrating on Mondays and Tuesdays and consistently under-perform. We started providing weekend backpacks stuffed with healthy, easy to prepare meals for elementary aged students (before the age where they are shamed by peers to accept handouts) for local schools that were not receiving any similar relief. Our program started in just one school district. We are currently serving seven local school districts. We also created food pantries so older kids in middle and high schools can obtain needed food in a more unobtrusive manner.
