“I think finally we are getting the ball rolling on not just the total amount of calories to help people, but it is the quality of those calories. We know fruits, vegetables, and whole grains those are the things we know that will not only bring health to our bodies but health to our minds and our emotions, and we need all those things healthy if we want to move people from just surviving to living their best life,” says Nathan Mortsenson the Program Manager of the Crosslines Food Pantry.
The Council of Churches of the Ozarks (CCO), is a faith-based 501(c)3 serving Southwest Missouri since 1969.
Its mission is to improve the quality of life of our most vulnerable neighbors by doing together what can best be done together in the name of Jesus Christ.
With wrap-a-round support services available through multiple outreach programs, the Council meets community needs affecting infant to elder. As an extension of churches from a variety of denominations and backgrounds, CCO has been inspiring hope for families, children, seniors and adults for more than fifty years.
