Welcome to Food For Your Soul Ministries (FFYSM), a faith-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and faith-centered movement committed to transforming lives through one conversation at a time and one faithful step at a time.
We believe every person is created with God-given purpose, inherent birthrights, dignity, and the capacity to grow in faith, leadership, and whole-person wellness. Our initiatives, pilot projects, and ministries intentionally serve Black American, biracial, and multicultural women faith leaders and ministers, Healing Arts professionals, Doulas, families, caregivers, and under-resourced communities by providing pathways and access to coaching, community workshops and gatherings, and T.E.A. Servants women's ministry services.
Our mission is to create faith-integrated pathways that advance discipleship, leadership education and capacity building, whole-person wellness, and community enrichment. We envision our efforts advancing Black American and biracial professionals and under-resourced community members to thrive by achieving sustainable health equity, economic scaling, and community impact opportunities.
Clarene experienced a life-altering vision in December 1986 that led her and her brother, Charles O. Baldwin, to create Food For Your Soul Ministries.
