Hartfordâs Mt. Moriah Baptist Church has started a new faith-based ministry called âMissions on the Mountâ aimed at providing warm clothing to those in need.
Organizer Brian Howard said the faith-based ministry was established nearly a month ago and has helped to provide coats and warm clothes to at least 40 individuals in Ohio County.
Although Howard said there has been a slow start, which he partly attributed to COVID-19 limitations for meeting in-person, he said he hopes to grow the ministry in coming weeks, aiming to reach at least 100 individuals in need in the community.
âRight now, weâve been really blessed with lots of donations,â he said. âWeâre slowly opening doors with getting people clothes.â
