United we can!

Our Mission statement is inspired by the love of Jesus Christ, we provide food, clothing and spiritual fellowship to those in need offering hope, compassion and mercy.

 A year of growth,
challenges and coming together. We've been through a lot together community. We've heard and seen your stories of hardships and felt your pains and sorrows.
We've seen how you the community have come together and are helping your friends, neighbors, loved ones and how you have endured and have risen and made it through difficult times. You had hope and determination and made it through the next month and the next and it hasn’t been easy we know, but you did it, you made it through another year and you are going to be okay and we pray that your situation has gotten better!
We love you all so much and we hope with what we do to serve you whether it be by our clothing or food distributions that it may have helped you in some small way.
Since Jan 1, 2024, 198,676 pounds that’s an amazing 99.338 tons of food that have passed through our hands and feet by the goodness and grace of God and He has sent us many partners for this to come to pass.
We want to thank Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, Williston, SC for giving us a home and for all the support that they give to Community of Hope Ministry and for stepping up and walking in faith and standing by our side through our mission to serve our community.
We thank God for bringing the Golden Harvest Food Bank  to us who supplies this food to our ministry and we are proud to partner with them with the many programs that they offer through which we are able to serve you with the monthly TEFAP food distribution every 2nd Saturday of the month and on the 3rd weekend we are up to 115 deliveries through their Senior Food Program some of these are not seniors but folks who are homebound with disabilities.
Also the Retail rescue program in which we work with the Dollar General stores in Windsor the Salley store at State Park road and Williston store where hundreds of pounds of food are picked up weekly and given out to our Community the
Williston store goes to the Gail Reyes Senior Center twice a week and divided out  between the Barnwell and Blackville Senior center.
We were granted a refrigeration pod a year or so ago which houses 4 pallets of cold storage room and because of this equipment thousands of pounds of fresh produce were able to be given out this year to our community.
We thank the Golden Harvest Warehouse Team in Aiken Ed, Jackie, Ramone, you guys are so awesome thank you for all you do!
We also have many
walk in appointments and we are able to provide some temporary relief for them also.
We did had some challenges too this year when Hurricane Helene came through and Golden Harvest was there for us we had two emergency distributions serving around 500 families in Windsor and Williston it was a challenge for them to get this food to us while their own community was hit so hard but yet they found a way to help us too and delivered much needed supplies to our community.
We thank our sister churches for helping us First Baptist Church of Windsor for our Children’s Program where they partner with us giving food to many families who are in need on a monthly basis and also First Baptist Church of Blackville for helping us with the senior deliveries in Blackville for there is such a need in Blackville and our prayer is for
hopefully one day to have a food pantry there somehow, someway, we know God will make a way we have seen what God can do, and God will make a way for He hears our prayers and has answered us on so many already.
We don’t give numbers a lot but since we began in April of 2022 God has brought an amazing 195 tons of food through this ministry this is Gods doing people as I always say "we are just delivery drivers for Jesus", if you are willing and say yes to God and are willing to work and be obedient to His call and Word He will use you, just watch and see the miracles that God will provide! Glory be to God! It's just amazing what God is doing and it reminds us of The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with five loaves and two fish as told in the Bible in Matthew 14:13-21.
We also want to thank the amazing volunteers, some are within the church, but many are outside the walls of the church all denominations and we appreciate and love each one of them and they are the backbone of this ministry. We are a small ministry, but we are willing and mighty look what Jesus did with twelve!
We are so excited to see what God has in store for us next year as a new journey awaits us. We are all in this together and it takes a village united as one.  We love you South Carolina!
“Follow Christ and let your footsteps litter the earth!”
