A "Sweet" Sweet Potato Drop


September is National Hunger Action Month, where we can all focus attention on lifting our neighbors from hunger and nutritional deficiencies. 48 million people in the US are food insecure, and the city of Birmingham is largely defined as a food desert.


Food security is a core part of our ministry, and we love to witness God’s provision for His people.
This past weekend was the annual CROP DROP where excess sweet potato crops were gleaned and “dropped” for bagging and distribution to local food banks. CSM received 4 basketfuls to share with our food ministry partners.
