Dear friends,

In the heart of Rensselaer, NY, there's a place that embodies the spirit of compassion and community—the Faith and Love Outreach Center. We stand as a beacon of hope, committed to feeding the hungry, uniting people for community events like backpack giveaways, and raising funds to combat child trafficking. Today, we come to you with a heartfelt plea and a chance for you to be a part of our transformative journey.

About Faith and Love Outreach Center

James Vandenouten, faced a life-threatening illness and a dire need for a heart transplant. In his darkest hours, he felt a calling to establish a ministry that would feed the hungry and extend a hand to those in need. James received his new heart, and from that moment, Faith and Love Outreach Center was born. Our mission is simple to carry out his vision: to feed the hungry and serve as a gathering place for people to come that are most in need. We believe in the power of coming together to create positive change and offer support to those in need.

The Urgent Need for a Van

For the past year we have relied on a borrowed van from another ministry to transport food to our centers and could only do that once a month. However, the other ministry has seen significant growth and now requires their van back. This leaves us at a crossroads, where securing a new van becomes a necessity to continue our mission effectively.

The Generous Match Offer

In this critical moment, an anonymous benefactor has extended a heartfelt offer to match every dollar donated, up to $10,000, to help us acquire a new van. This humble act of generosity could potentially double the reach of your contribution.

✨ Making Every Dollar Count ✨

It's vital to highlight that our ministry is entirely volunteer-driven - not a single soul receives a salary. Every dollar you donate goes directly into feeding the hungry, and supporting community events. Any funds exceeding the goal or surpassing the $10,000 match will be dedicated to covering the essential bills of the Faith and Love Outreach Center.

Join Us in This Journey of Compassion

We invite you to stand alongside us in this remarkable journey. Your support will not only help us secure a new van but will also enable us to increase the frequency of food distribution, from once a month to twice a month.

Together, we can continue to offer food to people that need it and nourishment for the soul.

Be the Change, Today!

Please consider donating what you can and sharing this with others to give. By doing so, you become an integral part of our mission, ensuring that the Faith and Love Outreach Center remains a beacon of love, hope, and service in Rensselaer, NY, just like James envisioned it 30 years ago.

With heartfelt gratitude
