Thank you for helping The Ministry of Caring further its mission to feed the hungry through our Emmanuel Dining Room's three locations through the 2024 Do More 24 Delaware campaign.
Continuing The Ministry of Caring’s mission of serving the poor with love, dignity, and respect by feeding the hungry at Emmanuel Dining Room (EDR), every day, EDR serves hot, nutritious meals at three locations in greater Wilmington at no fee and without questions.
In 2023 the Ministry of Caring touched the lives of over 14,000 Delawareans. In the challenging environment of high inflation and reductions in COVID 19 related government and corporate funding, the Ministry responded to escalating needs.
