Founded in 1992, SCFM is a non-profit organization made up of dedicated staff and volunteers who serve and love our community to ensure no one in Sevier County goes hungry.
Many of the folks we assist are on a fixed income or receive financial assistance. An average household includes 3 people.
In a typical visit, Neighbors will choose bread, produce, non-perishables like pasta, rice, and pancake mix, and be given meat and eggs, plus any extras we may have.
"And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Hebrews 13:16
We organize a variety of events to allow people to join the SCFM Mission. From charity drives to community service, this is where you can find out what’s going on, and get involved!
We exist to give food and hope to families in Sevier County, TN. Our program is an emergency food resource for persons experiencing a food shortage or struggling to provide for their families. We are guided by the example of Christ, who understood hunger and fed the multitudes.
Ina Faye has been with the SCFM since its humble beginnings in the historic Broady Hospital Building in 1993. Through the years, she has filled many roles: sorting food, stocking shelves, and working as a cashier in our Thrift Store. Her current position is her favorite: greeting and checking Neighbors in. Ina Faye loves to put a smile on people’s faces as they come in, from giving children a piece of candy to cheering up those who seem sad. “I have learned to be thankful for all our own blessings and for all the wonderful people, businesses and churches who support our food ministry. We have learned to make Neighbors feel welcome and loved and not ashamed to come and ask for help because that is why we are here: to help them feel God’s love.”
