Food Ministries
While we reflect upon 2024, thankful to meet the food needs of tens of thousands throughout our community, we are acutely aware of the harsh reality of food insecurity that continues to persist across Jackson County. There are many families who would never have considered using a food pantry for assistance but are now reaching out to us for help. Nearly 1,600 Jackson County households visited a CMJC community food pantry for the very first time in 2024. Additionally, nearly 800 school-aged children and youth are receiving food each week through our After School Backpack Program.
​
CMJC will continue to fill the gap for families who are especially pinched right now, by ensuring neighbors in need have choices of quality, healthy food and are welcomed and met with dignity.
David's Promise
David's Promise has been on an incredible journey this year including celebrating our 10th anniversary! We currently have 45 adults with diverse abilities engaging with our daytime programs. This year we have clocked over 700 hours of life-enriching activities. Our participants have dived into various experiences like arts, nutrition lessons, cooking classes, cardio-drumming, developing vocational skills, and music therapy. These activities are designed to empower their independence and also help engage them in the community.
​
Every session at David's Promise is led by dedicated staff members, committed to delivering enriching life programs. Each participant receives personal attention and high-quality instruction in a safe, nurturing environment. Our David's Promise program is free to all participants and runs 11 months out of the year.
