Our Staff & Volunteers: The Heart Behind FEED NEEDS
At FEED NEEDS, our greatest strength is our people — a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who serve with compassion, humility, and purpose. Many of us have walked the very roads our guests are walking now. We aren’t just serving meals — we’re serving hope, because we’ve lived the transformation ourselves.
Our team includes:
- Survivors turned servants who once received support through Praisealujah’s programs and now lead with passion and empathy.
- Volunteers with lived experience who bring understanding, resilience, and authentic care to everyone we serve.
- Case managers and community connectors who help individuals take the next step—whether that’s housing, recovery, or employment.
- Faith leaders and outreach partners who pour into our work with prayer, mentorship, and guidance.
- Local advocates who believe in the vision and give their time, energy, and resources to ensure no one is left behind.
Together, we form a family—united by a shared mission to serve, uplift, and restore. Every bag of groceries handed out, every word of encouragement spoken, and every connection made is powered by real people who care deeply and give generously.
At FEED NEEDS, you’ll always be met by a smile, a story, and a second chance.
Our History
FEED NEEDS was born out of personal transformation and a call to multiply hope.
In 2021, we began our journey with Praisealujah, not as leaders—but as individuals in need. We were battling challenges that seemed insurmountable: addiction, homelessness, broken relationships, and hopelessness. But Praisealujah met us with unshakable faith, unconditional love, and a commitment to walk with us until we could stand on our own.
Through their holistic model—combining food security, faith-based support, job training, and safe housing—our lives began to change. What the world saw as discarded, God restored. We were given dignity, purpose, and a new beginning.
By 2024, that transformation became our mission. We knew we had to bring this model of love in action to Mason County, especially to underserved areas like Shelton and Lake Limerick, where hope is often hard to find.
FEED NEEDS is now an established outreach—rooted in the same spirit that once saved us. We’ve returned to the streets we once walked in brokenness, now walking in strength. Our goal is to duplicate the very program that lifted us up—offering food, faith, and a future to those who need it most.
We’re not just giving back.
We’re giving forward—because we are the proof that love works, and transformation is possible.
Our Mission, Our Vision
Our Mission
FEED NEEDS exists to restore dignity, strengthen communities, and nourish hope by providing inclusive access to food, faith-based support, and life-transforming services—especially for those the world often overlooks.
Rooted in the Praisealujah model of “love in action,” our mission is to serve all people without judgment, break cycles of poverty and addiction, and empower individuals to rise and rebuild their lives through compassion, connection, and community.
Our Vision
We envision a Mason County where no one goes hungry, no one feels forgotten, and everyone has the chance to thrive—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Our long-term vision is to replicate the Praisealujah model across underserved communities, offering food security, safe housing, job training, and wraparound services that foster lasting transformation—led by those who have lived it themselves.
