Feed My Sheep

Southern Adventist University

Our Mission

The command to "feed My sheep" resonated with early Christians and they began the work of stewardship. Two-thousand years later, the call to action remains potent and the center of Southern's food pantry. With eagerness and humility, Feed My Sheep hopes to erase the stigma behind hunger and serve students who are in need of food assistance.

What is food insecurity?

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), food insecurity is defined as 'a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life.'

How does Southern help?

In 2013, students from the school of social work began the food pantry, which would later become Feed My Sheep, to combat food insecurity on the University's campus. Pioneers of this project left a trail for social work interns to follow and engaged with the larger community of Ooltewah and Collegedale in order to gather outside resources. Though the program has changed hands over time, the hands of Christ have remained a constant force in the delivery of services.
