The BOLD mission of the AMEN House: Ending Hunger in Scott County.
Who We Are
The AMEN House has a BOLD mission of ending hunger in Scott County. We are a community-based organization with a volunteer force of more than 500 people. We serve over 1000 families each month through food assistance, clothing, and wraparound services.
The AMEN House stands as a testament to community, compassion, and the life-changing ripple effects of helping just one person take the next step forward.
VISION
We envision a hunger free Scott County where food rescue is second nature to every grocery, restaurant, farmer and gardener; where local businesses, churches, organizations and families fight hunger by sharing their resources through food or cash donations. As we meet the most basic need for food, we are listening to the families we serve and connecting them to other in-house programs and community partners, working together to offer opportunities for our clients to move from poverty to self-sustainability.
