PROGRAMS

Hands of Mercy OC

As we merge with Hands of Mercy OC, we tackle food insecurity with a highly efficient and sustainable operation. We rescue high-quality perishable and non-perishable food items daily from premier grocery partners like Costco, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Sprouts. This nutritious food is then redistributed to over 75 non-profit organizations, ministries, and individuals throughout Orange County, ensuring it reaches those who need it most. Our commitment to sustainability means that absolutely nothing goes to waste: any food not immediately distributed is gratefully accepted by a local pig farmer, effectively repurposing it as feed and completing a truly circular, zero-waste model. https://www.handsofmercyoc.org/

Budget
$20,000
Outcomes

Over 20,000 + meals distributed each month.

Disaster Relief

Also a Chaplain with the Fire Department, Samuel Carter partnered with the LA Dream Center in early 2025 through the Palisade Fire, Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, and Kenneth Fire. Churches across Orange County collected food and clothing, which we then delivered to LA. Pallets of donated goods were delivered to the LA Dream Center Campus for distribution there.
