About the MEF Food Project
MEF, in conjunction with Oklahoma City-based hunger relief organization Feed the Children, Goodwill Industries of Colorado Springs and El Paso County Department of Human Services, has for many years, distributed food, toys, and other gifts to needy families in Colorado Springs during the Holiday Season.

Each Christmas season MEF provides funding for food to help over 1,000 families and many toys to those who are finding it difficult to feed their families and have a joyous Christmas. The Christmas-time distribution includes 26-lb. boxes of non-perishable food, either turkeys or canned hams, paper products, toiletries, toys and other gifts such as clothing, gloves, coffee, soft drinks and hot chocolate. More than half (54 percent) of families with children seeking emergency food assistance are single-parent households. Thirty percent of all single mothers and their children are hungry or live on the edge of hunger.

We gather new unwrapped items such as:

  • Toys ~ small hand-held toys to give to those seeing SANTA (about 300)
  • Food items ~ canned meat & non-perishable foods
  • Winter hats, mittens or gloves ~ for adults and children
  • Monetary donations are welcome ~ to cover food cost
  • Special needs for the homeless ~ ready to eat foods and small gifts like socks, toiletries, small books, pens, paper and other small useable or enjoyable items

    • We encourage you, your church, Sunday School Class, Youth Group or Missions Committee to help us make a real difference in the lives of people in need. Call the MEF office at (719) 591-7481 or e-mail for more information on how to be involved in this Christmas project.
