Featured Organizations: Help them meet their current need by donating today.
Lovie's Outreach
Lovie's, Ellis County's soup kitchen, is finishing the work on their new location which needs, among other things, a commercial vent hood system with fire suppressant. Then, the city can certify the kitchen and they can start serving meals again. Read more about their organization below.
They need $2,000.
Daniel's Den
Daniel's Den is building a new facility. It will house more clients and families in better surroundings as well as provide an improved emergency shelter when needed and more community involvement. They are still in the planning stages but here is an image that shows the current plan. As you can imagine, new buildings cost millions of dollars. "The Den" needs $900,00 to make this a reality. Let's start donating today! Read more about their work below.

The "gap" consists of those that earn too much money to qualify for government assistance but struggle to make ends meet between checks. Initially, when our kitchen is completed, we will only be open on Wednesday evenings. We'll serve from 5 pm until the food runs out. At our new location, we are primarily set up to be a come and go but will also have limited seating if needed.
