John 13:34-35 “A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.”
At SOS Feeding Ministry, we exist to live out the command to love one another, just as Jesus did. In Jesus’ words, He uses love as a verb, not a noun, meaning our love for other people should be demonstrated through our actions.

Matthew 25:31-40 "Now when the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on the left. Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world! For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me as a guest, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick you cared for me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
We seek to be the shepp, not the goats, that’s why we named our ministry Sheep of Salvation Feeding Ministry.

What Sets Us Apart
At SOS Feeding Ministry, we know that food-insecure families are often forced to choose between eating and other financial priorities. Do I feed my family, or do I pay the rent? Do I feed my family or pay for my medication? Can I buy healthy groceries so my children get a nutritious breakfast, or can I pay for a doctor’s visit for a health concern? Do I pay the electric bill or buy healthy food for the week? We believe that when we provide nutritious food to families in need, we free them from those decisions. The assistance we deliver is not just about food; when available, we provide hygiene products, clothing, diapers and wipes, toiletries, furniture, and, when needed, financial assistance to prevent eviction.
Food insecurity harms a family’s physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, so our efforts to address its effects must go beyond hunger.
We are the good shepherds, showing our faith by our works.
James 2:14-17 “What is the benefit, my brothers, if someone says that he has faith but does not have works? That faith is not able to save him, is it? If a brother or a sister is poorly clothed and lacking food for the day, and one of you should say to them, “Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but does not give them what is necessary for the body, what is the benefit? Thus also faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.”
A Focus on Stewardship
SOS Feeding Ministry is not a church; we are a faith-based 501(c)(3) public charity. This means that all funds raised by us have to be used for assisting others in need, and we must make regular filings of what we do with the gifts we have received.
A Promise of Equality
Genesis 1:26-27 “And God said, “Let us make humankind in our image and according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every moving thing that moves upon the earth.” So God created humankind in his image, in the likeness of God he created him, male and female he created them.”
We believe that God intentionally made all humans in His image, so we serve all humans regardless of their race, religion, citizenship status, gender or sexual orientation, income, or any other limiting factor.
Our Mission is Ancient, Our Methods are Modern.
As we build out our ministries, our focus is on being good environmental stewards. Every office we occupy will be energy-efficient, preferably solar-powered. Every vehicle we purchase will be electric, keeping our carbon footprint minimal during deliveries. The farm we are building will use a closed-loop, recirculating aquaponics-hydroponics system to achieve near-zero waste. We are building sustainability into our culture from the DNA.
