Ducks on a Mission is a non-profit that provides support to families struggling with food insecurity around the holidays
Ducks on a Mission is all about sharing the love of Jesus in practical ways. We help families who are struggling with food insecurity by giving them a box of food around the holidays so they can feed their families, and we share Jesus with them for eternal support.
How do we work?
Love in Action
The verse that motivates us to do what we do is found in 1 John 3:18. It says, "Let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth." This means that we can't just say we love people, but we need to back it up with what we do. Our goal is to love in action and in truth. We do this by helping people with the immediate, physical needs and connecting them with Jesus who can help them with their eternal, spiritual needs. This is how we love in action.
Intentionality
When it comes to the food that we give out, we make intentional steps to make sure people feel loved and cared for. We are more focused on quality over quantity and we use the same brands of food that we use in our homes. We also try to give families more than enough food so they are well taken care of and have leftovers to feed them after the holiday.
Faith-Based
We are a religious organization. Jesus is at the core of all we do and we know that He is the only way to get to heaven. Our mission is to provide for the physical needs first, then connect them with Jesus for the spiritual needs.
