A local church's outreach ministry has quickly become an outlet for many local families trying to make their food dollars go further in a volatile economy. Last May, Bethel Harvest Church joined with Angel Food Ministries to provide boxes of food to 40 needy families with children at Rosenwald-Dunbar and Warner elementary schools. Ministry coordinator Kathee Norris said after the success of the school ministry, church members decided to expand the program. "We wanted to help people, and we knew Southland Christian Church provided food for the kids during school but when school was out they didn't get any, so our desire was to help make sure the kids got food those three months too," Norris said.
