This ministry has evolved from traveling and working with the poor around North America to loving and serving the community of Hubbard and the surrounding area of north Marion County, Oregon. The north Marion County area is relatively diverse with approximately twenty-five percent of the population being Hispanic. Nearly one out of every five of the residents in the area is at or below the poverty line, with a higher percentage for children. There is a definite need for basic necessities in this small community.
In response to this need we have built the Jubilee Food Pantry. The vision for the Jubilee Food Pantry was born out of Leviticus 25 where God asks the Israelites to share what they have with one another and create justice in their community. The JFP is open to the community every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month between 4-7pm (click here for directions). The vision for this ministry is not only to distribute food, but to love, have fellowship and truly know our neighbors so that we can actively be the hands and feet of the Church, tangibly living out the scripture: “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’” (Matthew 25:40)
See our other pages if you need more information about either coming to pick up some food or volunteering to help us serve the community.
