Hunger Guidelines

The objectives of the hunger funds are:
1. To assist churches and associations with the purchase of nutritious food supplies as they minister to the hungry people in their communities;
2. To assist churches as they seek to evangelize the poor through this ministry and;
3. To provide training or education for hungry people which will aid them in feeding themselves.
It is our desire that Florida Baptists demonstrate the love of Christ and use opportunities to share the Bread of Life as they share food supplies with families and individuals.
Eligibility
Churches and their associations that are cooperating members with the Florida Baptist Convention are eligible to receive hunger funds.
Implementation
1. Hunger funds are to be requested only after local church resources have been depleted. Each church may request only once a month.
2. Funds are to be used to purchase nutritious food supplies only. Money is not to be given to individuals or families.
3. When a church is establishing a food ministry, initial start-up funds may be used for shelving, refrigeration and stocking of food. These funds are on a limited basis.
4. Effort should be made to locate food sources at discounted prices, such as wholesale stores or community food banks. Arrangements may be made to purchase post-dated goods from local food chains.
5. Churches are asked to plan at least quarterly food drives within their congregations in order to help stock the food pantry.
6. Every possible effort should be made to cooperate fully with other helping agencies, always maintaining the identity of the local church or association and the Florida Baptist Convention. Caution should be exercised to avoid duplication of service.
Reporting Use of Funds
1. Please Complete and return a summary report even if additional funds are not being requested.
2. The summary report of how the funds were distributed should be faxed, e-mailed, mailed or submitted online.
<>bLimits of Service
1. Funds are not to become a regular budget support for the church or families in need. Distribution will be made on an individual request basis and as funds are available.
2. Do not purchase exotic food items, sweet-tooth items, paper goods, or any cleaning supplies such as soaps, washing powders, etc. These funds are HUNGER funds.
