Celebrating and Looking Ahead at Nina's Place
In 2024...
1,300+ households
8,700+ records of assistance
350,000+ pounds of food distributed
Countless Lives Changed
One Community Strengthened
As we celebrate two years of serving the community through Nina's Place, it is so important that we take a moment to breathe and consider what we have accomplished, through God's grace and with God's help. From 2023 to 2024, we have experienced unexpected growth that has stretched our capacity: a 75% increase in the assistance we were able to provide and more than double the amount of food we were able to distribute to our neighbors.
This has not come without much sweat, tears, and frustration – simply because there are always more neighbors to help and never enough resources to make the work easy. We are indebted to the dedicated crew of volunteers and staff that make Nina's Place a six-day-a-week operation on Zion's campus and a true community partnership in every way.
As we look ahead to 2025, we have been challenged by a significant cut in the funding we've relied on from our collaborative partners to purchase shelf-stable food and supplies (gloves, wipes, paper towels, etc.) that keep Nina's Place operating as efficiently as possible. To that end, we would like to ask that, as you are able, you consider purchasing items from our Amazon wish list of supplies throughout the year. Your generosity will help us to direct all available funding to feeding and equipping our neighbors.
With all our ministries, it takes a special combination of time, talent, and treasure to make Nina's Place what it is. We are grateful for every good gift God provides and pray for our continued success in loving and serving our neighbors!
