Our Broken Loaves meal program is for any family who is expecting a new baby or has recently had a newborn.  This program will provide meals for families beginning shortly after their arrival home from the hospital.  If you have ever had a baby, you know how difficult the first few weeks can be when adjusting to life with a newborn.  Some people have churches or family members close by who provide what is commonly known as a meal train, but we have come to realize that not everyone has those supports.  Sometimes just making sure your family is fed can be exhausting.  Appalachian Family Outreach is partnering with area churches to provide two meals a week for the first four weeks after bringing home a new baby.  There is absolutely no cost to the family and you will have ready-to-eat meals delivered right to your door!  The meals will be enough to feed your immediate family.

Spaces are limited so sign up ahead of time if you want to be sure to reserve your spot.   

Qualifications:

• You must be expecting a baby or have a newborn (less than 3 months old).
• You must live in one of the following counties in TN: Carter, Johnson, Sullivan, Washington, Greene, Hawkins, Unicoi.

Matthew 14: 16"Jesus replied, 'They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.'  17'We have only five loaves and two fish, they answered.'  18 'Bring them here to me,' He said.  19 'And he directed the people to sit down on the grass.  Taking the five loaves and two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.  Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.'  20'They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up the twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.'
