Agape is our purpose

Grow in unity.
Serve our neighbors.

Our purpose is to strengthen unity in the Body of Christ through willing churches learning and serving together, beginning in Mississippi and the states next door. Agape, love of God and neighbor, guides the work.

These pages offer a starting point for willing churches and neighbors. Local leaders and responsible providers shape the actual work.

Every county. A place to begin.

Use the responsible provider

Find public help.

Choose your county in the provider’s directory. The agency confirms whether a program can help.

Food close to home

Find a food pantry nearby

Food banks can help you find nearby food pantries and meal programs. This is separate from applying for SNAP food benefits.

Open the finder and enter your ZIP code there. Ask the food bank where to pick up food near you; a food-bank warehouse may not hand out food directly.

Find a food bank or pantry ↗

Ask the local program about current hours, the area it serves and anything you need to bring before making a trip.

The search takes place on Feeding America’s website. MTA does not collect your ZIP code through this link.

Tennessee Department of Human Services — family assistance

Use Select a County to choose your county. Ask the office about SNAP food assistance, Families First and current requirements.

Support work already happening

Ask an existing provider for one useful task. Agree on roles, requirements, timing and any costs before making plans.

Churches serving together

Do one useful
thing together.

Start small. Listen to a neighbor, support a service already at work, and invite willing churches to help.

Four steps to shared service

  1. Listen first. Ask what the person or provider needs. Let them name the goal.
  2. Choose one small task. Ask the provider what help it can use. A public listing does not mean a team or activity is accepted.
  3. Agree before making plans. The provider and willing church leaders agree on roles, timing, requirements, access needs and any costs. Use the provider's own volunteer process.
  4. Check that it helped. Ask the host, and the neighbor if they wish, whether the agreed help was useful. Give any unfinished step one responsible person.

Keep people’s documents, financial details and stories private. Offer MTA learning separately and voluntarily; help must not depend on joining a church or class.

Sources & clear limits

County and parish names and identifiers: 2026 U.S. Census Gazetteer. Public directory routes checked November 8, 2026. Use the provider’s current instructions and confirm eligibility, service area, hours, access needs, documents and any costs before a visit.

These are public directory gateways. A page does not establish a local class, participating church, partnership, available funding or completed help. MTA offers general education; individual situations may need qualified advice.

See something that needs correction? Let MTA know. Leave out private household information.
