Get Involved
CTK Food Share and Farm exists to use the vehicle of food to bring hope to the hungry people of Whatcom County and help volunteers become more like Jesus.
Jesus makes it clear that he takes it personally when we feed the hungry, and he has created this ministry to be a light to Whatcom County.
Our purpose speaks to our calling and points to our King:
“For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in…The King will answer and say to them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of these brothers of mine, even the least of them, you did it for me.’ – From Matthew 25:35-40
