Helping Other People Eat


Pastor Geraldine Swagerty had a heart for those in need, especially individuals and families facing hunger in her community. In 1996 she began serving meals while offering encouragement and ministry to those who were struggling. Three years later, she founded The Kitchen of HOPE. What started as a small outreach has grown into a community-wide ministry that continues to provide hope and nourishment to hundreds of people each week.
