Mission
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. 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 distributes over 10,000 lbs of food to families each week. We provide food through our regular distribution hours, kids weekend food programs, special dietary program (gluten-free), Beacon Mental Health and to others as needed.
