SERV LOCAL
It’s more than just food.
SERV Food Local is a local outreach ministry of SERV International. We use food as a platform to share Christ. It all starts with FOOD, and leads to so much more.
SERV hosts monthly pack-outs to assemble 1000+ food boxes that are then distributed to families in need throughout Cherokee County.
SERV has changed the way LOCAL COMMUNITIES distribute FOOD boxes
Last year 2023 SERV donated to over 34,400 individuals and 8,600 families and over 150 tons of food to Churches and Organizations assisting to reach the needs of families, individuals, children, seniors, veterans stricken by poverty or unemployment.
In 2023, we served families, individuals, children, seniors, and veterans stricken by poverty or unemployment.
