Brawley Feed the Need celebrates 10 year anniversary

BRAWLEY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The founder of "Brawley Feed the Need" says she started at a local park with one mission and that was to help her community fast forward to ten years that mission is still the same. 

"I can never give God too much credit because honestly, I wouldn't have been able to do it unless I had the Lord in my heart and the faith to just continue to hold on to him," said Rosalind Servin, founder of "Brawley feed the need."

Brawley "Feed the Need" is celebrating their 10 year anniversary.

The founder of the non-profit says she started giving out food and ice cold water to unshelted people at a local park on July first of 2015. 

"Somebody invited me to do it...they were doing it in El Centro and they asked me if they would like to do it here in Brawley and that’s how it started," said Servin.

She was later invited to help distribute food to four different churches

It was an experience that eventually inspired her to open her own non-profit.

"When I came into this, I never thought I would be able to do half of the things that I am able to do and I would have not ever thought that I had I guess what it takes to be able to, you know, run a ministry," said Servin.

The founder has received awards and recognition, including receiving the Latina of the Year Award in 2020.

"The mission and the motivator behind it is to spread the love of Jesus Christ and to let people know that God is a savior and a helper to everybody," said Servin.

The founder says she appreciates the people that help her including her assistant.
