tHE HISTORY OF EMPOWER

We have always had servants’ hearts, with a call to meet people where they are and provide assistance when needed. An opportunity came about in 2020 to start cooking for a local ministry out of our home with a small group. After providing over 300 meals for this ministry, growth and how the group could serve more of the community was a large focus. Our volunteer group was outgrowing our homes kitchen, so we started looking for another place to cook and expand the ministry.

Early in 2023, we received our 501c3 status and named our group Empower Community Outreach. We also paired with a local church, who has opened the use of their commercial kitchen to our organization. Our volunteer group has grown from its small beginnings of 4 people to now over 20 volunteers.

We are currently privately funded, with plans to begin grant writing and donation campaigns in 2024. We are excited to see where God has us going and growing in the future!
