About Feeding Hope

Hope Through Action

Feeding Hope is a community-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit, charity organization devoted to making a difference for the children and families in need within our community.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide a quality meal to any member of our community in need, regardless of their circumstances. We seek to encourage and minister to those we serve. Our Vision is to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Our Slogan is "Making a Difference, One Meal at a Time!"  Our guiding scripture is, Isaiah 58:10, which says, "Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon."

Community Meals

Feeding Hope, along with our generous donors, community partners, and dedicated volunteers, provides FREE meals to anyone in need every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 5 PM to 6 PM at 424 E Florida St, Durant.

We also host special annual events, including our:

  • Harvest of Hope Thanksgiving Lunch

  • GLOWING with Hope 5K & 1-Mile Run

  • Back 2 School Bash

  • Christmas in July

  • Night of Hope Christmas Gala
  • Annual Golf Tournament

Come join us and experience the spirit of community and hope!
