In as Much Ministry

In as Much Ministry is a food pantry that addresses food security for people in need within Clay County, Missouri through the generosity of the community. It was founded informally in 1986 as a bread and diaper ministry and by 1988 had chosen its name and started using a closet at a local church as its "warehouse." In 1990 it became an affiliate of Harvesters, the regional food pantry in Kansas City, MO. IAMM now distributes over 10,000 pounds of food to families each week during regular distribution hours, kids weekend food programs and a special gluten-free dietary needs program. It is governed by a 14-member board of directors, and an executive director.
