The mission of Agape Ministry is to provide emergency relief to the hungry, hurting and homeless of Warren County and to follow-up with referrals to outside agencies that can help them reach financial self-sufficiency.

Agape was founded in July 1996 by a group of concerned people representing area churches, businesses and community groups. These people wanted to create a central place where Warren County residents living at or below the poverty level could come for aid. Over the last seven years we have fed more than 45,000 people with nearly 500,000 pounds of food and disbursed more than $225,000 in direct aid. Currently we are providing food and clothing to about 1000 people every month. Approximately 15 percent of our clients are elderly and 50 percent are younger than 19.
