Faith Feeding Freedom Foundation

What Faith Feeding Freedom Foundation does

Faith Feeding Freedom Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2018 and headquartered at 220 S. Queen Street in Martinsburg, West Virginia, operating in the social services vertical. The organization feeds the homeless and hungry of Martinsburg every Friday at 11:30 a.m. outside The Presbyterian Church, distributing bagged lunches and hot meals to 75+ individuals weekly. Founder Toni Wiesberg leads a small core leadership team (President, Treasurer, Vice-President, Secretary, Director of Grants) supplemented by an extensive volunteer base drawn from local churches, youth groups (Epic United/Dash soccer), and faith-based organizations (Martinsburg Church of Christ, Calvary United Methodist, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Beyond the core weekly meal service, the organization runs a Cold Weather Survival Program (coats, blankets, hand/foot warmers), distributes clothing, shoes, sleeping bags, tents, hygiene products, and seasonal items, operates 21 secure storage lockers at Catholic Charities (installed April 2022 with P&G grant funding), administers the BO Harrison Memorial Scholarship for Martinsburg High School seniors, and hosts recurring community initiatives including Back to School Backpack Celebration, Kids Christmas In the Square, and a Women's Health Program.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight and consists of a Wix-hosted website (faithfeedingfreedom.org), PayPal for tax-deductible online donations (paypal.me/twiesberg), SignupGenius for volunteer lunch-preparation scheduling, Facebook and Instagram for community engagement, and an email newsletter subscription. There are no proprietary software products, APIs, or AI/ML components.

The business model is donation-only, with no products or services sold. Revenue streams are split between monetary donations (PayPal online, in-person at Truist Bank on Fridays, United Way Unity Campaign, GuideStar/Benevity listings) and in-kind donations (food, clothing, hygiene products, and essential items from individuals, businesses, and organizations such as Martin's Food Market, Chick-Fil-A, Walmart Spring Mills, and Mountaineer Food Bank). The United Way Unity Campaign is the organization's most consequential annual fundraising mechanism, allowing it to receive 100% of designated donations plus a percentage match from a match donor. Operating geography is limited to Martinsburg/Berkeley County, WV (population 215,331 per WVCEH 2025), with no plans for geographic expansion indicated.
