On Friday, the meals were given away at two locations in Detroit to anyone who needed a Christmas dinner. The ministry raised more than $30,000.

“We are going to be doing food giveaways again throughout the winter a few more times because we raised so much from our food-raiser funds. And we’ll do it again when people need a good meal,” said Sister Shelley Jeffrey with Deo Gratias Ministries.

The ministry plans to have two more giveaways in January to feed another 2,400 people.
