Johnson's Success Through Attitude & Respect
Food shared freely. Neighbors served with care.MEET PATRICK JOHNSON
When a neighbor needs help,
Patrick shows up.
For Patrick, ministry is practical: sharing groceries, helping meet an everyday need, and bringing supplies when a community is hurting.
His father gave groceries to people who could not afford them. His grandfather shared the produce he grew. At the family’s property in Harleton, Patrick carries that example forward.
J-STAR’s food giveaways and relief deliveries connect donated food and necessities with neighbors who need them. Food is shared free of charge. The work depends on willing hands and people who have something to give.
FOR GROCERS, GROWERS & FOOD BUSINESSES
Your food can help
feed our community.
Have food you can donate? Patrick needs food and water to support local distributions and disaster relief. A one-time donation or an ongoing supply relationship can help keep the work moving.
Tell him what you have, how much, the product dates, and any storage needs. Confirm acceptance and delivery or pickup arrangements before moving food.
