Abba’s Hope
Reflecting the hope we have in our Father by loving orphans and foster children in Jackson and around the world. Our desire is to provide Redeemer members with ways to minister to these children through foster care, adoption or international orphan care.
Angel Food Ministries
Angel Food Ministries was founded with the hope of helping struggling families. Starting in Georgia the ministry has now moved out to 35 states. Angel Food provides affordable groceries by partnering with local churches. The “Signature” box has $65.00 worth of food for only $30.00 and provides food for a family of four for a week. Each month a new menu is posted with specialty boxes, meal kits, and more.
Once a month food is delivered to a local distribution site and church volunteers come together to package the “Signature” box here at Redeemer. Those who have ordered pick up at the church on a Saturday morning between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Distribution and pick up offer a fun time of fellowship with the church family and beyond.
Anybody can order Angel Food. There are several ways to order. You can order at the church between Sunday School and Church Service in the gathering area outside the kitchen, order online by going to www.angelfoodministries.com , or call the church office. If you have any questions on how to order or if you’re interested in volunteering call John Hooker at 601-209-4446.
