Imagine hauling 8,000 lbs. of fresh food a week through basement windows. That’s what Isaiah 58 Ministries in St. Louis, MO was doing when it was operating from Compton Heights Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)’s former building. But with Disciples Church Extension Fund's help, the non-profit will soon be able to meet the needs of low-income individuals in its neighborhood from a facility that’s a better fit for its staff, services—and most importantly—its clients. |
