ABOUT US
SPANNING THE GLOBE
Our Mission: We use food as a platform to share the love of Christ.
Our Vision: To physically and spiritually feed people and develop stronger communities in some of the most remote regions in the world.
How: SERV has used food as a platform to share the love of Christ since 2000. For the past 18 years, SERV has kept its focus on food, but it has led to so much more. We build relationships with people who live in some of the most extreme conditions on the planet, and we keep going back, providing clean water, shelter, education, protection from human trafficking and so much more.
We invite you to go on a mission trip with us. You will never be the same after traveling to the ends of the earth and beyond, serving others in need and reaching the lost. Don't want to travel that far? You can sponsor a child at our House of Hope orphanage, volunteer with us or become a partner or underwriter to help us further our reach. There are so many ways you can make a difference. You can start today!
