Hunger is neighborhood centric and often hidden. While many people associate hunger with homelessness, the largest and fastest growing group is the working poor. Many families to not have the means to travel even modest distances for food. FJP offers a street-level response to hunger, serving hot, nutritious meals in neighborhoods throughout Dayton, Ohio. Children, families, young, old, men, and women are offered not only a meal but an atmosphere of community, stability, safety and compassion. |
