Feeding Our Community with Faith
Providing Hope and Support
At the Matthew 25:35 Foundation, we believe that no family should go hungry. Join us in our mission to provide food assistance to families in need across the Quad Cities area, living our faith in action.
Light of Hope Backpack Program
There are many children in the Quad Cities Area whose primary food source is the school system. During the weekends, however, food can be scarce.
We are working to fill that gap and provide food for the weekend, during the month of June, for each of the children on our list.
For less than $10 you can provide food for a weekend for one of these children, bringing comfort and hope.
Please join us in showing them that they are loved and cherished.
Thank you so much!!!
Christmas 2024 is now past us.
Thanks to you, the 5th Annual "Be the Light" Christmas Meal Drive was a huge success!
In all, we were able to provide Christmas meal boxes to 93 families, in the QCA! 428 people blessed with full stomachs and the love of Christ!

Annual "Be the Light" Christmas Meal Drive
Our signature event, and the one that gave rise to the Matthew 25:35 Foundation. We provide all of the food necessary for a true holiday feast.
Community Partnerships
We are working to build partnerships with local businesses and organizations in order to provide support on more occasions and in more situations.
Past and Present Partners
We have been blessed to be assisted by several partners, even before the Matthew 25:35 Foundation existed.
Walmart, HyVee and Jewel-Osco, Fareway, Prairie Farms Dairy, Neumiller Farms and dozens of individual supporters have made the past four Christmas meal drives possible.
Volunteer Only - No Employees
When you donate to us, your money goes right back out to those in need. Being volunteer only, we have minimal overhead.
