Providing food & clothing to families in need with Jennie Carter of Peace Lutheran Church

November 01, 2020 • Avenue Realty • Season 1 • Episode 3

In this episode of Charlottesville Connected, Amy Cochran welcomes Jennie Carter, Director of Youth and Family Ministry at Peace Lutheran Church, to discuss the Hungry Hearts No More program, which provides food, clothing, and other items to local families in need. Jennie details how the program got started and the greater purpose and benefits of the program that have emerged over time. She shares their process of figuring out who gets what and communicating what items Hungry Hearts No More is in need of, as well as detailing the impacts of covid-19 on the program.

“People are really looking for ways that they can help during this time and there’s not a lot of ways where we’re also able to keep each other safe… so if we can expand that and allow others to share their gifts in a safe way, that is our goal.” - Jennie Carter
