FRN’s Nonprofit Partner Spotlight: Home Sweet Home Ministries

It’s Hunger & Homelessness Awareness week, and we’re sharing stories from some of the amazing hunger-fighting nonprofit partners in our network. Nonprofit partners provide invaluable service by nourishing communities across the nation. Check out what’s happening at Home Sweet Home Ministries in Bloomington, Illinois!

Home Sweet Home’s Bread for Life Co-op allows participants to use their own capability and choice to provide food for themselves and their families. Their transition from a food pantry model to a co-op model has empowered and given agency to community members.

Watch the video below to learn more about this creative and successful model!

Home Sweet Home Ministries' Bread for Life Co-op is a membership-based program where individuals can use their own capability to provide food for themselves and their families. The co-op serves low-income individuals and families struggling with chronic food security issues.

Home Sweet Home Ministries works with the Illinois State University FRN chapter.
