Fran Kowalczyk started Share the Blessings Ministry two years ago but has to hold yard sales and item distributions in different locations because it lacks a permanent home.

The ministry holds monthly yard sales at different volunteers’ homes to fund the purchase of food and supplies.
Share the Blessings Ministry is looking for a home. The 2-year-old program provides food, cleaning supplies, and personal hygiene items to people in need, filling a void that food stamps don’t cover and helping those who don’t qualify for food stamps but still need assistance.
“I got the feeling that we needed this ministry when I met people and heard their stories,” said Fran Kowalczyk, an alternative healing and massage therapist who is also an ordained minister but is not associated with a church.
