About Us

---

From the start, it had always been about serving where God has placed us. Tammy Fisher lives this out well. Years ago, when her brother came to her in need with only a brown bag to hold all his belongings in, found solace. Along the way, this image provided Tammy with inspiration. Tammy had been giving out food, coats, and so on to those who needed them since 2013. Although Tammy's ministry had no official name, God had a plan. In November of 2017, a food distributor that was providing food for Tammy's ministry asked Tammy the name of the ministry so that he could write it on the box of goods for her. All a sudden, Tammy blurted, "Brown Bag Ministries." Her brother holding tightly to his brown bag inspired the name and to this day has stayed true to the mission: to serve those with little to provide richness in love.

We meet people where they are at. 

Not every person who is in need of help can make it to a food bank or access assistance. Through community partnerships we are able to identify neighbors in need and run a weekly or bi-weekly event in a central location in their neighborhood. We also run a permanent location on Saturdays for people to come to us.

We waste nothing. 

An estimated 40% of all food produced in the US ends up in the trash.  Food donated to us is distributed the same day insuring that it does not sit on a shelf to be tossed out later.

We are present in the moment.

We edify, encourage, befriend, listen and hear.  We share the Gospel and we pray with our neighbors if they desire fellowship. If they have a need outside of what we can help with we provide resources to obtain assistance.
