COME TO THE ALTAR MINISTRY AND JENNINGS FARM UNITE

Come To the Altar Ministry has moved its farm from Brookneal to the Jennnings Farm in Gladys. The greenhouse has been completed and is ready for starter plants which will be transferred to the field. We had a good summer crop which included onions, potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, peppers, banana peppers, butternut squash, corn, and watermelon. These will be given out in future distributions. 

We will be starting the fall/winter planting in September/October 2024.

COVID-19 Initiatives

Our ministry is ready to help those affected by the COVID-19 virus. Working alongside the Rustburg United Methodist Church, the Rustburg Sheriff’s Department, and the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, we brought much-needed food relief and other resources to hundreds of families in the community this year.


Many individuals lost their unemployment benefits, families have lost their homes, and additional businesses will shut their doors permanently.


However, through your gift, we can help the hurting and be the ‘unity’ in community. Will you please partner with Come to the Altar Ministry, Inc. to make a difference and improve lives for many families in our communities?
