Thank you for helping The Ministry of Caring further its mission to serve the poor with love, dignity, and respect through this year's Do More 24 Delaware campaign. Take a look at our 2025 Impact Report to see how your gifts enriched the lives of the vulnerable community members we assist in Wilmington.
 
While statewide food insecurity in Delaware sits at 12.6 %, the crisis is nearly three times more acute in the neighborhoods surrounding the Emmanual Dining Room (EDR), where food insecurity reaches a staggering 30%. According to ChristianaCare's 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), the zip codes we support are located in areas with approximately 35% poverty, well above the county average. In 2025, EDR served 183,741 meals to 142,704 men, women, and children at two locations. This was a 12% surge over the previous year, including a rise of 21% in the number of children served. There is never a fee and no questions are asked.

Rising food costs, high inflation, rising rents, along with reductions in government benefits for nutrition such as SNAP, have seen a rise in demand for food at both Emmanuel Dining Rooms. Last year, your generous support helped us help over 18,000 Delawareans.

Now, and to continue our important work, we ask for and greatly appreciate your help at any level and in any amount during the Do More 24 Campaign.

THANK YOU!
