Feed the Hungry
Here at the Mission, we provide meals for the homeless, hungry, and food-insecure every day. It is our sincere hope that everyone who comes to the Mission hungry and homeless will leave full, not just of food, but of the love of Christ.
Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. Proverbs 22:9

Food Pantry
Through our kitchen ministry, we continue to serve three meals each day. We invite you to join us in the Agape Dining Hall during meal service times, where you will find not only nourishing food but a welcoming community rooted in the love of Jesus Christ.
If you need additional food assistance, see area food pantry information for Sioux City and surrounding rural communities.
How you can help
Much of the food shared through our kitchen is generously donated. Every food donation goes directly toward feeding the hungry and demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ in a tangible way. To best support our meal service, we kindly ask donors to prioritize:
These items let us serve large numbers of guests consistently, reduce food waste, and prepare nutritious, hot meals with dignity and care. Small, individual-sized cans are appreciated, but they are much harder for our kitchen to use now that our pantry is closed.
Financial gifts close the gap between the food that is donated and what it takes to serve well-rounded, balanced meals.
