Who We Serve
Our mission started in St. Charles county, Wentzville, MO and we have now transitioned to Boone county in Colombia, MO where we help weekly rate motel residents by providing hot meals and spiritual care.
Over 34 million people in the United States are food insecure with 9 million being children. 53 million turned to food programs in 2021. Now add to that, the family is living in a weekly rate motel. Overcomers Charities decided to step up and make it our mission to serve these people.

Feeding People
Hot Tasty Meals
With motel rooms that only include a microwave and a small mini-fridge, those we help have no stove to cook a hot meal. Most buy meals at fast food restaurants or at local gas stations. Overcomers Charities saw the need for quality, hot meals for the residents. We deliver regularly each month.
Food Delivery
Most of the working poor don’t have the time or the knowledge required to eat well on little. Often working multiple jobs and night shifts, they tend to eat on the run. Healthy food choices are not available. Overcomers Charities delivers food baskets with fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, etc. donated from local grocery stores.
Feeding Souls
Spiritual Care
A large part of our charity purpose is to provide care, comfort, and concern for the residents. Some of the residents are struggling with depression, alcohol, drugs, and others are broken from their poor choices. Some have been in domestic violence situations. We have a Chaplain that goes onsite to meet the needs of the motel residents spiritually. This includes one-on-one care, daily devotionals, and simple one-page faith-based handouts. The Chaplain puts out Tiny Devotionals each morning via text to each resident participating in our food programs. These are uplifting and well received. It is Overcomers belief that you not only feed people, you feed their soul.
