A Servant's Love Incorporated

Mission: A Servant’s Love exists to serve income-challenged individuals and families, teach self-sufficiency through education, and empower through enhanced life skills.

Since our inception in 2007, ASL has worked to offset health disparity in our community. We accomplish this through food security programs for individuals and families that are often overlooked, with a special emphasis on senior citizens. According to the World Food Program, “People are considered food secure when they have availability and adequate access at all times to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.” Working with 7 volunteer sites and 50-75 volunteers every month ASL provides over 120,000 pounds of nutritious foods and goods through more than 2,400 individual distributions annually in our SNWP program. IN our Holiday Giving program we provide 45,000 pounds in a single distribution. We collaborate with other organizations and individuals to provide another 16,000 pounds to individuals identified with critical health concerns or that are homeless through monthly distributions.

PROGRAMS

• Senior Nutrition & Wellness Program (SNWP) – Monthly food assistance program for income qualified Seniors 60 years of age and older
• Holiday Giving – Community outreach program that identifies and assists families during the holidays. Through generous donations of foods, products, accommodations, time, energy and more, a substantial gift of nutritious foods and goods are given. 
• Collaborative Programs – ASL works with several organization who provide other services in the community but also have individuals or families that they have identified as being food insecure. Some of these collaborations are formal like the Nutrition Rx while others develop on an as need basis.
