About Us

For over ten years, the Suthers Center has served those in need of food and emergency funds. Originally it was supported primarily by the sales revenue from a Suthers run thrift store which was closed during the COVID pandemic. Now the Center receives support from three partner churches (listed below), fund raising events, community organizations, schools, individuals, and donations given as memorials. Suthers serves over 4,000 families and individuals annually, more than 200,000 pounds of food.

St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church claimed ownership, leadership and all operations for the Suthers Center for Christian Outreach in 2009 and partnership churches are represented on the board:
