||||||||||||||||
Description: Churches United of the Quad City Area is a cooperative association of over 139 churches representing over 20 Christian Faith traditions in the greater Quad Cities area. Churches United Hunger Ministries have 24 Food Pantries responding to over 316,000 needs for meals annually throughout Rock Island and Scott Counties. They also coordinate a hot meal site in Davenport that provides a hot meal Monday through Saturday at 6:00 pm. How to Help: The Churches United Hunger Ministries are made possible by over 500 generous, hardworking and dedicated volunteers. Volunteers do a variety of things to help the operation of their food pantries, including: packing boxes/bags of food to give to clients, assisting in volunteer coordination, gathering groceries and donations to stock the food pantry shelves, transporting donated items from the food bank or local stores, and hosting Food Drives. Donations to support the Churches United Hunger Ministries can be made online through the Virtual Food Pantry or through their website. For every dollar donated, Churches United can purchase 6 lb. of food, so a financial contribution to Churches United can go a long way to helping hunger in the Quad City area.
