The driving force of this ministry is prayer.
At the Monastery of the Holy Martyrs and Orthodox Workers, we know the power of prayer—but we also know that prayer is an action verb. You can pray to end hunger, but you must also feed the hungry. So our mission is simple:

We feed people.

God can move mountains, and He will. Yet He often places the shovel in your hands, stands beside you, and strengthens you as you work. He uses you as the instrument of His mercy. He leads you to the stove, lights the fire, and says:

“Cook.”
And because of your support, we do exactly that.

The greatest miracle is not raising the dead—it is feeding the hungry. We pray for hunger to end, but we also act. We are not attempting to feed the entire world. We are seeking to feed one person—and if that one is a child, all the better.

Your unceasing prayers matter.
But your continued support matters too.

Hungry?
We’ve got food.

A Call From Scripture

“Come, you who my Father blesses… For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you welcomed me; I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.”
Matthew 25:34–36

A Call From the Saints

“The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry man; the coat hanging in your closet belongs to the man who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the man who has none; the money in your bank belongs to the poor. You do wrong to everyone you could help but fail to help.”
Saint Basil the Great, 4th century AD

The prayers tasted good! Thanks! But I'm still hungry!

What we do is very simple. We feed folks!
