CAM On the Move

Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 6:40 AM

Christian Action Ministries begins the process of moving to their new facility this weekend.

Full details below from the CAM Press Release:

Christian Action Ministries, the 38-year community food pantry of Taney County, will open operations at its newly-acquired center on Monday, Aug. 29. The 15,000-square- foot facility, formerly a laser tag venue at 2400 State Highway 248, will serve as a distribution hub to expand the ministry’s “Neighbor to Neighbor” initiative to bring truckloads of food to various communities, as well as provide permanent offices and meeting rooms.

“The goal is to build relationships of care with people to give them hope and share the love of Christ,” said Larry Johnson, CAM vice chairman. 

The Branson distribution site, at 610 S Sixth Street, the former Branson Elementary School, will close after business on Friday, August 26. The new downtown Branson distribution site will open Wednesday, Sept. 7, at the First Presbyterian Church’s youth building. Hours of operation
will be Mondays, 2-6 p.m.; Wednesdays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Fridays from 8 a.m. until noon. 

Distribution will continue out of the Forsyth location on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings at the rented location 10726 E Highway 76. A third distribution site will be added by the end of September a new warehouse hub at 2400 State Hwy 165. 

The Christian Action Ministries board has appointed Michele Dean to serve as the Interim Executive Director. She joined the staff in January to focus on programing and donor development. Previously Dean served as the Director of Development and Charitable Giving with Faith Community Health. 

Larry Johnson said, “Michele has the gifts and energy to lead the organization forward in this time of great need, change and opportunity. The Board celebrates Michele’s vision for the future.” 

Christian Action Ministries has served to combat food insecurity in Taney County since 1984.Each year more than 40,000 individual cases of assistance are recorded – meaning nearly 500,000 meals provided in the more than two million pounds of food distributed. CAM’s food
pantries are funded by donations from individuals, churches, and businesses in the community, and staffed by the dozens of faithful volunteers who contribute their time and talents to serve their neighbors.
