Emergency Assistance Program Director, Pastor John Bagwell

Emergency Assistance Program, Assistant Director, Miriam English

        Emergency Assistance Program is a ministry arm of Giving Life Ministries that helps feed the poor and needy of Henderson.  This ministry is for emergencies.  This includes families not working, not on food stamps, no other source of income, homeless or at risk of homelessness, seniors, and the handicapped without regard to nationality, race, creed or religion. We help just about anyone in an emergency situation.

        We give food boxes, not hot meals and only include Henderson area zip codes. With the food box come bread, pastries, and sometimes dairy products, as they are donated to us.  If funds are available, we have bus tokens and DMV ID's.  There are also blankets, water, and can openers for the homeless.

        We are open to the public Tuesday and Fridays form 9:00 A.M. until Noon.

        We accept donations of good, new or used, clothing or housewares, and as always, we accept cash donations to assist the needy here. All donations are are tax deductible. 

        If you have a question about the Emergency Assistance Program or would like to donate please contact Pastor John Bagwell at pastorjohn@givinglifeministries.org or call the church office at (702) 565-4984.
