About the Ministry
At Calvary Baptist, we believe that caring for our community starts with meeting basic needs. The Empty Tummy ministry is dedicated to providing food assistance to individuals and families in Shelby who are facing food insecurity. Inspired by Christ's call to love and serve our neighbors, we aim to nourish both the body and the spirit in a welcoming, dignity-affirming environment.
