Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

Forest Avenue Outreach performs gospel outreach activities under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit, in the King-Irving and surrounding neighborhoods to the lost and hurting community in order to meet basic needs, teach life skills, build relationships, love unconditionally, and shine the light of Jesus into the darkness.

Youth Programs of Forest Avenue Outreach include the Fishing Club, which uses the Fish Iowa! Curriculum to teach the basics of fishing to inner city youth; the youth entrepreneurial and employment training program and the Community Garden Club.

Community Programs include refugee mentorship and community meals, and Urban Agriculture Programs include the Community Garden and the Community Orchard, which provide an outdoor classroom and community gathering area where people can access fresh food and are educated and empowered to go home and grow their own food.

How to Help:

There are many opportunities to support the work of Forest Avenue Outreach through financial and in-kind donations, volunteering, and more. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to learn more through their website and Facebook page and to contact Ralph Chiodo directly to become involved.
