Our History |
In 2011, on a March afternoon...the unthinkable happend....a F-4 tornado travled down the Mountain Parkway and struck Salyersville. The winds knocked down businesses and homes, but thanks to our Lord and Savior, all lives were spared that day in Magoffin County. With utilities cut county-wide, homeless left to search through the rubble, and the local food pantry lying in ruins, Lakefront Church of God had just been given the Middle Fork Elementary School. It was through that gift, that members of the church chartered the idea of Water Into Wine Food Pantry. Today, we went from a small soup kitchen that fed a couple of families during the disaster, which grew on a daily baisis to include more than a 1,000 meals a day for the homeless and recovery teams during the disaster, to now serving 600-800 families per month. God planted the see, and with the help of the community and local churches, we have grown and bloomed where we were planted.
