Rhema Christian Ministries

Rhema Christian Ministries has benefited significantly with the food received from Second Harvest, especially during this pandemic time. Our clients are appreciative of the variety of food. Thank you, Second Harvest! Rhema Food Bank could not feed the communities without your support.

We have many families that have been renovicted, living in hotels with little children. It breaks my heart, but we’re able to give them some relief. Maybe they can even save a little for first and last month’s rent [with food support] and find somewhere new. Thanks to Second Harvest, we’re getting food to feed individuals, single parents and full families who are working two jobs.

We are most grateful to receive donations from different companies through Second Harvest. This definitely increases our food distribution to the community.
