With your purchase of a bowl or mug, you’ll receive a bowl of soup and a piece of bread.

Christian Assistance Ministry Share Your Harvest Food Drive
​During the months of October and November CAM collects Thanksgiving-type foods for those in need for our Share Your Harvest Food Drive. We collect everything from canned pumpkin, green beans, corn and other canned goods, along with instant mashed potatoes, boxed stuffing, etc. Often the families we serve won’t be able to have a traditional Thanksgiving meal and furthermore are simply hungry for food in general. Through the generous donation of individuals, churches, and workplace offices, the special Thanksgiving items will be a gift and surprise for families that come to CAM seeking food.
