Produce program: Mobile Farm Markets distribute fresh produce throughout the community.

BackPack program: Provides bags of kid-friendly, healthy food for students to take home to eat over the weekends and during holidays.
School & Family Pantry program: Provides fresh produce, meats and groceries to families.
Food is Medicine
We strongly believe hunger is a health issue. Since 2019, we have partnered with local healthcare providers and agencies to screen our neighbors for food insecurity as part of our commitment to address the root causes of hunger.
Neighbors identified as food insecure may be able to access our Wellness Markets and Wellness Bags, which provide fresh groceries until they can be connected to All Faiths’ trained professionals for help with benefits applications and referrals to other community resources.
By embedding food access directly into healthcare settings, together, we are elevating nutrition as a core component of disease prevention, treatment and recovery – while working to reduce hospital readmissions and improving patient outcomes through disease-specific, medically tailored nutrition support.
Our free benefits assistance services include:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP– formerly Food Stamps)
- Medicaid
- SOAR (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery)
- Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
- Financial aid requests
Rural Hunger
Our Food and Resource Center in DeSoto County, where agriculture is the dominant industry, is the epicenter for needed resources- including food. Our team there provides wraparound services, including benefits assistance, group classes, referrals for other social services, and free tax preparation.
