About Feed the Need Ministry
God uses ordinary people who trust in Him to accomplish extrordinary things. And He did just that when He inspired in an ordinary, semi-retired, and now unemployed man the vision and the passion to help the homeless that live just a few miles from his house. In short, Richard (Rico) Bell got a word from God. And that word has proven to be contagious.
When God calls, he provides, and God has provided businesses and individuals that have come forward to help provide food, Bibles, clothing, facilities, and skills to help meet the physical and spiritual needs of the homeless and less fortunate.
