SAME -Loving Neighbor as Self in Downtown Hampton!

 At SAME, we work to foster meaningful relationships between volunteers and guests working to create lives free from hunger. Since the 1960s, Hampton Baptist Church has been a place of welcome to both volunteers and neighbors who are facing food insecurity.

Together we work to ensure that each individual is treated with love and respect through the sharing of food, clothing, and toiletries. In addition, we distribute bus passes and once a month partner with the Foodbank to distribute groceries to over 100 households.... many of whom have no transportation.

In addition, we bring in groups to offer hard to access services such as counseling and voter registration.

It is only with the support of our community that we are able to do this work and to ensure that those in our community who are not among the wealthy, who live on the street or in their cars, those who are seniors trying to make ends meet, or young children born into families without means, are all met with love and kindness and told through these tangible means that their WORTH is just the SAME as the volunteers who come to serve.
