In today’s Ministry Minute, Justin Trapp shares the incredible story of Project Give — a church-led initiative in Oregon, Ohio, that erased every bit of school lunch debt in their district.
With over 75% of schools in America carrying unpaid lunch debt, families face real financial strain, and students face shame, hunger, and embarrassment.
Churches across the country are stepping in:
• One Texas church paid off $10,000 in lunch debt
• Another in Ohio raised $15,000 to cover every student
These aren’t just financial gifts — they’re acts of compassion that tangibly preach the gospel.
Because when the church removes shame, even over something as small as lunch money, it reflects the heart of Jesus.
