“Feeding the Need, Living the Word”
A Call to Action for Our Celebration Beach Church Family
According to Flhealthcharts.org, food insecurity in Collier County has risen sharply since 2021. Every month, more than 100 families in our community walk through the doors at our church office—not to sit in a pew, but to receive something far more basic: food. For these families, our pantry isn’t just a ministry—it’s a lifeline. And right now, we have an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a deeply tangible way.
🍞 Why It Matters
Food insecurity is more common than many realize. It affects single parents, the elderly, families between jobs, and people dealing with unexpected life events. It’s not just about hunger—it’s about choosing between groceries and medicine, rent, or gas to get to work.
But when the church steps in, needs are met, hope is restored, and hearts are opened.
“If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?” – James 2:15-16
Jesus didn’t just preach to the crowds—He fed them. He saw physical need and met it with compassion and action. We are called to do the same.
🙌 How You Can Help
Over the next two weeks, we are holding a Food Drive to restock our food pantry shelves. We’re calling on every member of our church family to bring non-perishable food items with you to church on Sunday mornings or during weekly ministry meetings.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:40
Your donation doesn’t just fill a bag—it fills a stomach, lifts a burden, and reminds someone that God sees them and loves them.
🛒 Let’s Fill the Shelves, Feed the Souls
Imagine the impact if every family in our congregation brought just a few extra items. Our shelves would overflow. Our neighbors would feel cared for. And our Celebration church would reflect the heart of Christ more brightly than ever.
Let’s not miss this chance to turn compassion into action. Bring your items this Sunday—and the next. Be a part of something that nourishes both body and soul.
Together, let’s “Feed the Need—and Live the Word.”
