Ripon interfaith ministries

History

37 Years of Service

In 1987, Ripon deacons shared a vision to form this organization to provide a program for giving food and clothing to those in need. A plan was developed to build a solid foundation for a lasting, efficient and effective ministry to respond to the needs of people of the Ripon area. Cash contributions and food donations come from generous local churches, businesses and individuals.

Our Mission

is to provide food and clothing to those in need. We glorify God by following the example of Jesus, and doing as he commanded by serving with compassion and caring for all people. (Matthew 25:34-36)

Our Vision

Bring the hope and healing of Christ to the world through providing food and clothing to persons and families in need in our community. Our vision is to respond to the needs with compassion and in prayer with the goal of inviting them into a relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.

Jesus said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
At Ripon Inter-faith Ministries, we hope everyone who enters our doors experiences the amazing love of God.
