What does it look like to love our neighbors?

Sometimes it begins with something as simple as offering a meal.

As we enter Hunger Action Month, we invite you to walk with us as we shine a light on hunger in our community and the people impacted by it every day.

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2

At The Gospel Mission, we see firsthand the power of compassion. A meal can provide nourishment. A conversation can provide encouragement. The love of Christ can provide lasting hope.

Over the coming weeks, we'll share stories and opportunities to help meet the needs of those experiencing food insecurity in Siouxland.

Together, we can help ensure that no one faces hunger alone.

Join us this Hunger Action Month as we feed the hungry, encourage the hurting, and point people to Jesus.
