Giving Back:
Allen Chapel AME Church Serves the Homeless of Downtown Riverside A volunteer’s reflection By Corey Glinsey
E
very Tuesday afternoon, Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Riverside gives back to the community it serves by providing meals for the less fortunate in the area. Through this unique ministry, the church feeds roughly 100+ of the city’s homeless each month but they don’t stop there. Not only does the church nourish their bodies but they nourish their souls as well. Beginning Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season Allen Chapel expects an even more active ministry. Corey Glinsey, a volunteer for the food ministry, shares the story of not only the ministry, but of Allen Chapel’s mission for the holiday season.
