ABOUT US
SPANNING THE GLOBE
At SERV International, we are all about giving people the opportunity to see and experience life in a whole new way.
Mission: We use food as a catalyst to completely transform lives.
Vision: To reach the unreached by distributing 1 million nutritious meals per month around the globe.
How: We start with food but it leads to so much more. From the jungles of Venezuela ~ to building outreach centers in Mexico ~ to rebuilding communities in Mississippi after hurricane Katrina ~ to rescuing and sponsoring children who have lost parents in Cambodia and Kenya ~ to taking a life-changing global mission trip to the end of the earth: these are just a few ways many have experienced life in a whole new way with SERV International. We invite you to join us. How do you want to SERV?
