Would you join us as we walk to bring awareness to the rising epidemic of food insecurity affecting our guests and in support of our programs? More New Yorkers than ever - about 1 in 9 adults and 1 in 6 children, or a combined 2.2 million - are facing food insecurity. Many of the guests we serve through our soup kitchen and food pantry at The Father’s Heart Ministries are seniors with fixed incomes. With the rising cost of food, they tell us they have been unable to keep up. Other guests have lost their jobs, and even with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or food stamps, many just don’t have enough food for themselves or their families without additional help.

But it’s not just food that our guests need. The Father’s Heart Ministries is a place where they receive love and compassion. We also offer weekly programs that enable our guests to move from dependency to hope, restoring their sense of self-worth and dignity.

Our programs include:

Soup Kitchen - a hot meal of fresh eggs & sides to-go

Food Pantry - groceries including fresh produce

ESL and GED tutoring every week

Men’s Transition Program - assistance/rehabilitation from homelessness & unemployment

Social Services Desk - our guests can come & find the resources they need

KidZone - enrichment activities for children, teens, and their parents

Alphabet Scoop - teen job training & employment program
