Mission Statement
The Vineyard New Outreach Ministry, a faith-based, 501c3, nonprofit organization , located in Greenville MS, that distributes food, clothing and other necessities to individuals, children and families that lack these essentials due to , poverty, no/limited income, layoffs, sudden disabilities, unexpected bills, broken sponsorships, domestic violence or any other adverse situation.
To do this, we work closely with caring corporate partners that donate surplus food and other supplies, as well as with individual donors who help defray the cost of transporting the product donations.
Through the generosity of committed partners, The Vineyard distributes much needed necessities to children and their families every day. As always, The Vineyard provides help to those in need absolutely free of charge.
A key goal is to help families in need move past needing help and into becoming self-sufficient members of their community. Through long-term, self-help development programs funded by grants and individual donors, hundreds of families in this area have increased their ability to be self-sufficient by learning and applying new, marketable skills.
