February: 11 Years of Sharing the Love of Christ
In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells us, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” At i58 Ministry, we’ve always believed that Love finds a need and meets it.
As we write off another February from our calendars, we are grateful to be blessed by and to bless so many wonderful people. Truly, the greatest gift God has given us is not just the ability to attend to the physical needs of others, but also another day to minister to their hearts.
11 Years of God’s Faithfulness
It’s incredible to look back at where we started in February of 2015: just 12 families and 1,065 pounds of food. We were small, but we were willing. Today, because of your radical generosity—your Saturday mornings, your prayers, and your financial gifts— i58 has become a beacon of hope for hundreds of families every single month, and we are still just getting started.
February by the Numbers
Our anniversary distribution was a day of pure celebration. Watching our community show up for one another is a gift that never gets old. Here is the impact you made this month:
Pounds of Food Distributed: 39,050 lbs
Families Served: 443
Individuals Served: 1,949
The Heart of the Operation: 56 dedicated volunteers from 12 different organizations
Growing the Family: 17 new families joined our program this month!
Ways to Share the Love
Together, we are the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need:
Volunteer: See the mission in action! Join us for our next distribution on the first Saturday of March.
Donate: Your support meets very tangible needs for our neighbors:
$10 provides dignity through adult incontinence care for 24 people.
$30 keeps 6 babies in clean diapers.
$150 covers our monthly “Birthday Bags,” ensuring every child feels celebrated.
Pray: Please join us in praying for the families we serve. We pray not just for their physical hunger to be satisfied, but for their hearts to know the overwhelming love of Jesus.
With Gratitude,
