Food insecurity is on the rise. Many people reside in food deserts where healthy nutritious food isn't available. The pandemic has left many families with little to no income. Minimum wages in large families cause families to choose between food and keeping a roof over their heads. 125,000 active duty Soldiers face food insecurity. Regardless of the reason, the need is REAL. Everyone deserves to have food.
Our organization focus on providing food and other resources to members of our communities experiencing food insecurity as well as those experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Our homeless and hunger outreach programs are geared towards providing support to the members of our community experiencing, unsheltered homelessness, food insecurity and COVID-19 economic setbacks. Additionally, we provide furniture to Veterans transitioning out of homelessness into independent living through our Veteran 2 Veteran Program. Our homeless outreach and food insecurity programs serve approximately 400 people a year of all races ages and ethnicities in the low income category. Our Veteran program serves only adult veterans in the median to low income category.
April and Earnest Fraziers, both retired disabled Army Veterans founded Galatians 62, to continue serving. Taking care of those in need is what we do, it's who we are and what we love. We both served more than 20 years as Military Police and Victim Advocates.
As Veterans, we wanted to be able to do something extra for other Veterans so we developed our Veteran 2 Veteran program and partnered with the local VA in Columbia SC and Baton Rouge LA to provide furniture and household goods to Veterans being transitioned out of homelessness to help give them a fresh start.
Our Team is composed of family and fellow Veterans that share our passion! We operate on an all volunteer staff to ensure that we can commit the bulk of our resources to the communities that we serve. Your donations and support are why we are able to do what we do! Thank you for your continued support!
