We want to share these words with you from recent letters sent to us by recipient churches and organizations as the thanks also goes to you, our support team!

“Each Wednesday, we distribute food to more than 200 families and the number keeps growing. The ministry has been in this service for over 15 years… thanks to Friend Ships for giving us the helping hand to help those in need…”

“Thank you Friend Ships for your dedication in serving the community.  We have been surprised with the quantity and quality of food that has been given to us…Through this ministry, relationships can be built between people who receive the food and the workers…Friend Ships volunteers are amazingly friendly, full of God’s love and ready to serve”

“We run a transitional boys home - the food we receive from your program helps feed our participants and also helps them reach out to the community and share with those less fortunate.  In turn, this helps build our young men’s self esteem and teaches the value of giving back and helping others.”

“There are no words to describe the impact your food ministry is having on our ministries and the communities we serve.  Our ministries are making a significant change…Because of your program most families are now able to buy other life necessities that they could not afford because every penny they had was spent on food…”

“We have been doing this ministry of feeding the community for 17 years.  Your donations help us feed 40-50 families each week”

“The food we receive every week helps feed up to 50 families each week. You are helping change people’s lives.  We have so many needy people. It is my privilege to pass on their gratitude from the many grateful families”

“This November, we will celebrate 18 years of partnership with you.  Our first delivery was to a single mom and 7 kids in Harbor City and it continues today as we take 18 bags of food to 16 families in Watts.  Although the adults in the inner city have been receptive, we have been best received and appreciated by the children who often follow us to help and pray in the circle with us each time as we continue our deliveries down the block. After the deliveries, we play games, read Bible stories and teach them Bible verses. Over the years we have built deeper relationships with some of the families.  We have tutored their children once a week since they were in grade school….We proudly attended one of the daughter’s graduation from the University of California with a degree in criminal justice and her younger brother is at Long Beach State and plans to be a doctor. Thanks for providing us the opportunity for God to use us to bless others.  These past 18 years have been life changing for us. We have been honored to serve with you!”
