District Five Family Ministries

Description

District Five Family Ministries (D5FM) is a faith-based ministry, which began 35 years ago as a collaboration between teachers and local churhc members who had recognized families in acute need, particularly around the holidays. In its first year, the Christmas Project provided clothes and toys to 10 families. In 2009, D5FM sponsored 1,200 children. In recent years, we have partnered with Middle Tyger Community Center, which houses our operations and provides and umbrella underwhich our ministries thrive. Though our list of services has expanded tremendously, our basic mission remains the same: to bridge the gap between individuals and churches who want to help and those who need assistance, in order to contribute to emergency relief and family sufficiency.
