In 1988, Art and Mary Willhite volunteered to help transport thousands of pounds of food from the mid-Ohio Food Bank to the Emmanuel Community Church food pantry. Before they knew what was happening, the Willhites' had found their mission in life. What had been a few hours of volunteer work became a 60-hour per week responsibility.

In 1994, Art and Mary registered in the state of Ohio as a non-profit organization called "Living Faith Fellowship Ministry." Using their own money, they bought a used delivery truck. They then constructed a make shift warehouse by bolting together several donated trailers.

Since 1994, they have given food products to the poor, homeless, needy, elderly and children.  Twelve million dollars worth of products have been distributed locally, also to 50 percent of Ohio counties, and to many States, plus several countries overseas.

In addition to food products; jackets, sleeping bags, blankets, toys, and other items have been distributed to those in need.

What is most remarkable is that their annual budget is less than $50,000; $10,000 of it comes from Arthur's railroad pension, and from taking second and third mortgages on their home. The remainder comes from other sponsors.
