How to give to E-Meal?
E-Meal is a "No Questions Asked" ministry. We do not accept funds from government sources that would require our clients to prove to us that they are in need, or meet certain requirements. We are inspired by the simple proclamation of Jesus - "Blessed are the Poor".
We rely on on private donations of funds and food to support the E-Meal Ministry. When you make a gift to E-Meal, you know that we are using your money wisely. Our average cost per meal is just 32 cents. In other words, every $100 donation provides the equivalent of over 300 meals for our neighbors in need. We can do so because your donations work alongside our various food partnerships and allow us to purchase food beyond what those partnerships provide so we can provide a broad selection of food.
While online donation is safe and easy, you can also send donations by check in the mail to 69 W Broad St Souderton PA 18964 or bring it by during E-Meal hours.
Night Shift Volunteering
We offer an evening opportunity to volunteer for those who prefer to volunteer after work hours to prep base bags for lunches.
We go through over 1000 lunches per week and having the bags prepped and ready to go makes a huge difference when things get really busy.
Wednesdays
6 PM - 8 PM
Food Donations
Our ability and experience with purchasing makes monetary donations the most effective way to make a gift. However, many people enjoy purchasing food for families in need while shopping on their own. We always accept direct food donations and would ask that you consider the following as particular areas of need for the E-Meal Ministry.
Cans of Tuna
Cans of Soup
Express Mac and Cheese
Ramen Noodle Packages
Gluten Free Packaged Meals
Bottled Water
Instant Oatmeal
Yogurt Cups
Apples or Oranges
Canned Pasta Meals
Sweet or Savory Snacks
Will you Accept the 1000 Bag Challenge?
The 1000 Bag Challenge is a great way for group to support one of the largest food distribution ministries in our area. It is perfect for churches, youth groups, business teams, civic organizations, and families; any group that wants to bond as a team and support our community of generosity. Most groups can complete the challenge at our church or at your location.
Filling 1000 bags helps us distribute meals for one week. Each base meal contains 1 bottle of water, a napkin, a prayer card, and an individual snack.
To help us provide even more food to our neighbors in need we ask group members or friends to donate the meal bag contents. Every 1000 bags cost about $350.
For group volunteering or any questions you can reach out to the church office at 215-723-7514.
