The mission of Feed My People is to show God’s love and compassion to all His people, but particularly to His people in need. Resurrection has a very special connection with Feed My People. This important ministry was founded in 1982 by our own members, John and Carol DeGuire. It all started with one bag of groceries and a desire to help those who suffer from hunger. From its beginnings, out of the small house of its founders, Feed My People has grown into an organization that has two locations and serves people in 11 zip codes. Between the two locations in South County and High Ridge, more than 1,700 people are served every week!
