Just One More Ministry (JOMM) is our December Share the Plate partner. JOMM celebrated their 10th year as a nonprofit organization. They started with 20 loaves of bread donated to an inner-city church and this year have given out 5,000,000 pounds of food to those in need in Milwaukee and surrounding areas. JOMM is a food bank that has 87 partners who come on a regular basis, as well as outreach to eleven food deserts in Milwaukee to serve the hungry.
JOMM seeks to care for Milwaukee’s poor in spirit, providing regular nutritious meals and food for the hungry, and supporting those who suffer with addictions through prayer, helping to create a fulfilling and God-centered life. Where possible, JOMM hires those with challenged backgrounds because they believe that everyone deserves a second chance, sometimes a third chance.
First Church members and friends can get involved as volunteers. With only 9 paid staff, JOMM depends heavily on volunteers to serve in all facets of its operations. The greatest need is for volunteers to sort incoming food donations and stock shelves, coolers, and freezers as well as bagging groceries for Outreach deliveries. Families are especially encouraged to volunteer. Children are welcome with adult supervision.
