Bringing hope through food and clothing

Memorial Drive Hunger Ministries has been serving folks along Memorial Drive since 2008.  Here is a bit about who we are.  Please consider giving a donation to support this ministry.
WHO ARE WE?
Stone Mountain Georgia is home to a remarkably diverse ethnic, cultural, and religious gathering of people from around the world.  It is also “home” for an increasingly large homeless and transient community of folk, many of whom can be found each day and night somewhere along a 3-4 mile stretch of Memorial Drive.  As there is no overnight shelter available in the local area, 3 area churches met in 2008 to discuss the need to provide basic emergency food service for those in the 3-4 mile corridor of Memorial Drive.  Memorial Drive Hunger Ministries (MDHM) began first as a 3 day a week “emergency” midday meal ministry to street folk. This ministry has grown, both in the number of churches that provide volunteer support for the ministry, to the number of days emergency meals are now served (six day a week) to the number of folks served each week (from 45 a week in 2008 to as many as 360 folk a week in 2013)
