Mission Statement
The Storehouse is a food distribution program for needy families in the greater Covington (98042) area. It has been in operation since 1999. This is a committed team effort, of life giving churches in the community. We work together, to continue the mercy ministry of Jesus, to feed the hungry and bring a touch of encouragement. Home deliveries are made each Saturday to single parent families, the elderly, the shut-in, the ill, and any hungry or disadvantaged adult or child, free of charge. The Storehouse is a non-profit 501
About This Cause
Currently The Storehouse is providing food assistance to approximately 140 families plus 8 organizations that provide housing to the homeless. Our program involves delivering boxes of food to the homes of our participants. To participate in our program, a family is required only to ask for help. There are no further requirements than that. They stay in the program typically until they choose to stop participating. Each August The Storehouse hosts its annual “Back to School BBQ”. More than 1000 people will attend; majority will be families from our local schools that are in need. In addition to a great meal; local beauticians provide hair cuts to the children; hundreds of pounds of clothing are distributed to the attendees. Many resource booths will provide service information from our community, including: Library bus, Multi-Care, Smile Alliance, DSHA Mobile Truck, single moms will have the opportunity to have the oil changed on their cars. The kids enjoy the live entertainment and several will go have with a new bike. The main focus will be the 500 backpacks filled with school supplies that each registered child will receive.
