Tuscaloosa, Alabama Church Celebrates 10 Years of Nonstop Service with Food Giveaway

Congratulations to the Center of Hope Food Ministry at St. Mark A.M.E. Church, where Rev. Antonio R. Thomas is the Pastor. They are celebrating 10 years of uninterrupted service. This is a huge milestone.

This decade of service hosted by the St. Mark A.M.E. Church is truly in line with “to whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48).” We appreciate you for your contributions to the West Alabama community.

Shortly after the tornadoes' devastation, the St. Mark A.M.E. Church established the Center of Hope in 2011. In the time of need for many in our area, they provided food, supplies & clothing.
