The Atlanta metro area has one of the fastest-growing poverty rates in the United States, leaving children and families in our communities going hungry. Because of private donations of food and money, MUST and MUST Neighborhood Pantries give away an astounding ton of food a day to those in need. Households may receive food free of charge. Anyone can receive bakery items daily donated by local grocery stores. In addition to our Food Pantries, MUST operates the Loaves and Fishes Community Kitchen which feeds 100+ hungry men, women and children every day at lunch. Breakfast and dinner are also served to 136 residents at the MUST Hope House shelter. The residents are provided a “to go” lunch during the workweek. Feeding neighbors in need has always been a core component of MUST Ministries and remains a constant reminder of the miracle of the loaves and fishes.

The Need: About 136 residents live in MUST facilities. These residents receive breakfast, lunch, dinner every day. Atlanta Sai Center, once a month, cooks breakfast for the residents. We fondly call this service as Must Ministries Breakfast Service.

The service:  Every 3^rd Saturday of the month, we assemble at MUST shelter and cook breakfast as per the menu. This menu is set in consultation with the shelter. We typically cook for about 80 to 90 residents.
