The Least of These Ministry

03/03/2026

In Partnership with Grace Church of the Nazarene, we are collecting Cereal for our local Elementary School. It will be distributed to families before Spring Breakto ensure that children will have breakfast during their time away from school. Let me know if you’d like to help.

Along with some Hand and Feet Warmers to those in need in our community. Thankful to do this just in time for the extreme cold 🥶 and weather expected this weekend ❄️🧊🥶

Today, after much delay due to sickness, we went through Columbia to love on people and say These pictures are on our way out and on our way back! What we couldn’t give out to individuals, we took The Family Center and were able to give them to a few individuals there as they settled in their cars for the night. THANK YOU to everyone who gave and supported in any way!

What a blessing today to participate in the Family Kindness Experience with Grace Kids at Grace Church! We packed 10 bags to distribute next week throughout Columbia. In addition to the bags we packed today, we will include blankets and “breakfast in a bag” meals with shelf stable milk, cereal, fruit and applesauce cups, pop tarts and breakfast bars. We also have assorted shoes and LOTS of extra socks!! Excited, as always to

THIS!!!

Dignity.

When times are hard, dignity can be one of the first things to slip away and that’s something I think about a lot when I make my Meal in a Bag kits.

I see the comments sometimes “Why not just buy a can of soup?” or “Wouldn’t it be cheaper to hand someone a can of chili instead of making a 5-can chili?”

And yes, maybe it would be. But what you’re giving with a Meal in a Bag isn’t just food. You’re giving someone the experience of preparing a meal…of opening ingredients, following a recipe, and sitting down to something they made themselves, even if it is simple, it still feels homemade.

That’s dignity. ❤️

That’s why I take the time to make my recipe cards look nice, to package everything neatly, to make it feel like a gift. Because it is a gift, one that says, “You matter. You deserve something that feels special.” Give someone the gift of dignity.

It’s not about soup or chili or the cost of a few cans. It’s about giving people back a little bit of normalcy, a little comfort, and a lot of heart.

Some have asked about the quality of the “Dinner in a Bag” Meals. With the exception of the newest ones, we have tried all of them.
Tonight - Cheesy Chicken Potato Broccoli Soup. All ingredients from “Dinner in a Bag” ingredients, we just added broccoli because we like it and we had it.

Ingredients
2 large cans of Chicken Breast
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cans of diced potatoes
2 packs of Velveeta Cheese Sauce
1 Chicken Bouillon pack
Frozen Broccoli
4 cups of water

We added pepper and parsley flakes, but would be fine without .

DELICIOUS!!

I was asked today about the “Meal in a Bag” meals. Wanted to share recipes again. I’ve also added some new ones. They are needed more now than ever. We accept donations of food items to use in the bags, money to purchase items. We also encourage making bags up on your own.
