Sharing Heart Food Bank

Sharing Heart Food Bank began over five years ago as a small food pantry helping only a few families per month . During the year 2002, the food bank grew and served 70 local families per month with support coming from local residents in the area.

October of 2003 was a turning point for the food bank. An anonymous Christian sponsor and Feed The Children, a worldwide Christian food ministry based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, began supporting Hearts With Hands, Inc. and the food bank. Currenty Operation Blessing, Inc. is supporting the food bank along with local and corporate donors.

Currently with the generosity of these sponsors, the food bank has grown from helping a few families per month to helping over 15,000 families per month in the western North Carolina area. This increase in service is made possible by the Sharing Heart Regional Distribution Center sponsoring over 60 Christian food ministries in the area. Sponsored agencies receive the food free of charge and Hearts With Hands asks that proper accountability and good stewardship be practiced in return for this resource, for it is truly a gift from God!

Plans are in place for the Sharing Heart Regional Distribution Center to server over 25,000 families per month in western North Carolina, upstate South Carolina, and eastern Tennessee as the Lord leads.
