Jessup Baptist Church in Jessup, Maryland, operates a monthly baby and toddler pantry, supplying hundreds of families with free diapers, wipes, formula, clothing and other necessities.
In addition, partnering with a YoungLives group, they also have a quarterly pantry for teen moms.
Founder and director Becky Delisio says, “Last year, our budget for the baby pantry was $600, but we gave away over $60,000 worth of diapers, $30,000 in wipes, and $50,000 in formula. It’s insane the amount of material that’s come out of the pantry! Our church has put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but the actual funds from the church are very small. It’s just an incredible testimony to what the Lord can do with five fish and two loaves of bread. So I tell everybody, when you operate on faith, and the Lord is behind you, you’re going to see fruit from the ministry.”
