Spotlight Business of the Month - North Greenville Food Crisis Ministry
North Greenville Food Crisis Ministry were established in 1983 with a small federal grant distributed by United Ministries. Since that time we have helped thousands of families and individuals in Northern Greenville County with groceries, clothing and crisis fund to assist with utilities, rent and medications.
We are completely supported by churches, business and individuals in our service area and do not receive any government funding. . We take donations of food, money to purchase food and pay bills, and clothing to distribute . We also accept any other items that we can sale at our twice yearly book/rummage sale. Last year we held our 1st Annual Tournament of H.O.P.E (Help Our People Eat) golf event. We have over 100 volunteers who are critical to the running of our ministry.
