The Lord is My Help is hosting its 4th annual Feed the Need Fish Fry on Sunday in downtown Ocean Springs.
The Lord is My Help is a soup kitchen in Ocean Springs that feeds over 200 people a day and over 5,300 meals a month.
According to the organization’s website, Feed the Need began in the fall of 2013 when a group of concerned Ocean Springs citizens decided to band together and do a little something extra for the soup kitchen. The fundraising group decided to host a booth at the Peter Anderson Festival to sell T-shirts designed by local artist Chris Stebly and to raise awareness about the work done by The Lord Is My Help soup kitchen. The booth was so successful that the group decided to carry on and host a full fundraiser in the summer of 2014 titled Feed the Need.
This year’s Feed the Need will again be held at the Government Street Grocery on June 4 from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. Each ticket includes entry to the event and one fish plate.
Musical entertainment will be provided by Paul Kirkland & Friends, Blackwater Brass, Cary Hudson, and Grayson Capps, Hadley & the Hillfire, Skoobie, & Bambi & the $2 Beers. In addition to the music, food, and fun we will also have T-shirts for sale, a silent auction, and a cornhole tournament. The winner of the tournament will receive a cornhole built and designed by Guice Woodworks.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door and can be purchased at a number of local businesses including The Greenhouse on Porter, Hillyer House, The Government Street Grocery, The Office Bar and Lounge, Kwitzky’s Dugout, Paddles Up, The Office Bar and Lounge, Triple Threat Academy, and Eat Drink Love Catering.
