Feed by Faith serves hot, nutritional meals to homeless, low-income, and no-income families. This encompasses Lauderdale County and Meridian, Mississippi. Last year, we served over 20,300 meals. In 2012, the figures increased to more than 175 to 200 meals per day. The 2006-2010 statistics for Lauderdale County show 31.1% of our community is living below the poverty level. There are roughly 1,300 homeless people in our community. The Meal Program is attracting a large number of this population. This also includes unemployed citizens. Our meal program will be reaching many of these individuals and providing them with a meal they would not have had otherwise.
