Volunteer Stories
Why we help
Tom Harrison:
“I’ve volunteered with Feeding 5000 a number of times. I’ve prayed with a few of the “clients” and enjoyed all the kind people I’ve worked with. If I could describe my volunteering here in one word, I think it would be fulfilling. It’s very satisfying to help others in need, to know that we’re feeding the hungry. And so many good people volunteer. I would encourage others to get involved, tell them about my experience, and ask them to give it a try.”
St. Charles Borromeo Church - Tim Hurley, 8th
Grade Teacher:
"For the past several years, the 8th grade confirmation
class from St Charles Borromeo in Cinnaminson has participated
in the Feeding 5000 program. It has provided a wonderful
opportunity to learn the true meaning of service. To say it has
been life changing would be an understatement. The opportunity
to serve the poor and homeless in Philadelphia has opened the
eyes of our young people. From preparing the food to serving our
new "friends", the students have the chance to live their faith.
"We look forward to continuing to support this
wonderful program!
Fellowship Alliance Chapel - Marty Berglund,
Senior Pastor
"Hundreds of people in our church have been involved in
the Feeding 5,000 ministry. It’s been a highly effective
ministry. Through Feeding 5,000, people have been given an
opportunity to minister to people in a deeper way, beyond what
they normally have opportunity to do. Not only were our people
able to tangibly meet the needs of others in a practical sense
and we were also able to meet them in a Christ-like way, thereby
opening a door for the Gospel to change another life. But the
opportunity also had life-changing effects upon the people from
our church which moved them further along in the discipleship
process in their lives.
