Urgent Need!

Sunshine Ministries feeds more than 300 men, women and children every month from food donated by our generous partners. But, as you can see from the photo, our food pantry shelves are almost empty...emptier than they’ve been in 25 years. 

We do know hard times have hit us all with increased food, fuel, and housing costs. But, if you’re able, please consider donating to our food pantry, or organizing a food drive in your church, neighborhood, or workplace.
