Mission Statement
The mission of Encompass Ministries is to help individuals and families re-establish stability and self-reliance by offering a variety of programs including immediate food assistance, employment strategies, and life skills through hands-on support and ongoing training in order to have a community where everyone has the tools to achieve stability and no one goes to bed hungry.
About This Cause
Formed in 1998 as Papa's Pantry, groceries were delivered to families in need. It became evident very quickly that the lack of groceries was a symptom of underlying problems such as a lack of employment or budgeting skills. In people's homes this kind of coaching began. Soon, they no longer needed the help with food and their households became stabilized. In 2004, the ministry acquired a building, and then became open to the public for food assistance, Stability Training, and a variety of Life Skills programs. When the opioid crisis began making the news, we reached out to a variety of programs for men and women. We then began providing food to feed their residents and training modules that have helped thousands of people recover from a variety of personal crises. In 2020, we are partnered with 8 residential addictions recovery centers. In May of 2019, the ministry name changed (with the Georgia Secretary of State) from Papa's Pantry to Encompass Ministries.... The name Papa's Pantry just did not "encompass" the many things we are involved in to help people get on their feet.
