Retained Life Estates Make (Cents)!
“I love Feed My People. I am removing the hassle of selling my home from my children after I am gone. I will live in the home for the rest of my life, but after I am gone, it becomes Feed My People’s and I get a $92,000 tax deduction on a $120,000 house. Feed My People serves people in a way they know their dignity is intact.”
— Joe Richardson

Clothing Voucher
For those clients who qualify, we provide discount cards or vouchers for items in our thrift stores, helping with appropriate clothing for a new job or an interview, warm clothing in the winter, or everyday essentials.
Emotional and Spiritual Distress
When it comes to spiritual and emotional distress, it’s important to approach each individual’s unique experience with care and empathy.
The Transformation department’s goal is always to meet the clients where they are in their lives and to encourage them to talk about their feelings and to use support networks and resources that we can provide them.
It’s also essential to be supportive and non-judgmental throughout the process of the conflicts that the individual may be experiencing.
Sometimes just reminding them of the importance of self-care such as getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising can help with a positive impact on their emotional and spiritual state.If their distress persists or becomes overwhelming, we suggest seeking professional help and we would help them with resources and finding counselors or spiritual advisors. Everyone’s path to healing is unique, so it’s essential to be supportive of their journey and to give them the tools to succeed and provide the best possible support to our clients.
