 The Bread of
Life Food Ministry Outreach has been a vital part of the Ministry
Outreach of Millersburg Assembly of God since 1995, and exists for the
purpose of being a blessing to those in need in the Upper Dauphin County
area.
Presently serving 130-150 families per
month, this Ministry of Compassion continues to be a valuable resource
to not only the families who receive the food, but also the Community as
we all benefit together through the Bread of Life Food Ministry.
While the bulk of the support for "Bread
of Life" comes from the generous giving of the people of Millersburg
Assembly of God who designate a special offering on the last Sunday of
every month, we are also appreciative of the discounted purchase rates
from the PA Food Bank as well as the generous gifts of food from
Bethesda Mission, as well as various churches, grocery stores, and kind
individuals in the area.
 As the food
is compiled throughout the month, the packing gets into "full swing" on
the Thursday preceding the 2nd Saturday of the Month as volunteers
gather in the Fellowship Hall of the Church at 7:00 PM to pack the
grocery bags full of food. The bags of food are then lined up in
the foyer of the church to be ready and available for Saturday.
Bread of Life Day is always the 2nd
Saturday of each month, and begins at 9:30 with a short service in the
church, and then as people exit the church, they are given bags of
groceries with the number of bags based on the family size.
Volunteers also are ready to assist them to their vehicles as they leave
with their arms full of groceries and goodies.
 God has truly
blessed Millersburg Assembly of God to be able to host this wonderful
ministry in our area. If you would like to have a part in giving
of your time either packing food on Thursday and/or distributing food on
Saturday, please feel free to give the church a call at 717-692-3904.
Or, if you are in need of receiving food, you are encouraged to come and
apply on the 2nd Saturday of the month. There are income
guidelines to be eligible to receive the food.
