How More Than A Meal Got Started
How More Than A Meal Got Started
More Than A Meal began as a grassroots effort to serve families and children in need in Oxford. After Hurricane Katrina, founder Kristy Bridgers became more aware of the needs in the community and wanted to create a place where people could come not only for a meal, but also for fellowship, encouragement, and support. What started as an idea grew through the help of local churches, volunteers, and community members who believed everyone deserves food, dignity, and connection. Since 2010, More Than A Meal has continued to serve neighbors in Oxford through weekly meals, fellowship, and care.
