Our story
In As Much Ministry was unofficially founded in 1986 as a bread and diaper ministry on the porch of Don and Dorothy McClain. By 1988, the ministry had chosen its name and started using a closet at Second Baptist Church.
In 1990, IAMM became an affiliate of Harvesters Community Food Network. In April 1991, the Ministry joined The Emergency Food Assistance Program, a program operated through Harvesters by the US Department of Agriculture.
In 1993, the Ministry was incorporated as a nonprofit agency. In 1996, In As Much became affiliated with the Mid America Assistance Coalition.
In As Much now provides food to over 1500 different families a year, many of whom visit regularly. We distribute food through our regular distribution hours, kids weekend foods programs, special dietary program (gluten-free), Tri-County Mental Health and to others as needed.
