Just One More Ministry Launches Year-End Fundraiser: “The Best Bargain in Charity — Rescued Food for Just 14 Cents Per Pound”

Milwaukee, WI — December 16, 2025 — Just One More Ministry (JOMM), Milwaukee’s leading Christian food rescue organization, today announced the launch of its annual Year-End Fundraiser, “The Best Bargain in Charity — Rescued Food for Just 14 Cents Per Pound.” The campaign aims to raise $100,000 by year’s end to support the ministry’s mission of transforming food waste into nourishment for Milwaukee families facing hunger. Funds raised will help sustain operations projected to deliver more than five tons of rescued food per day in 2025.

Founded in 2013 by recovered addict Chris Capper, Just One More Ministry began with a simple act—rescuing and distributing just 20 loaves of bread. Today, the organization has grown into a regional food rescue leader, having distributed more than 30 million pounds of food since its founding. JOMM now partners with nearly 90 grocery stores, restaurants, food suppliers, inner-city churches, and community organizations, rescuing and distributing approximately 3.5 million pounds of nutritious food annually and sustaining more than 17,000 meals each week for Milwaukee’s hungry, homeless, veterans, seniors, and families living in food deserts.

Water this tree to provide 5 tons of food daily to the hungry.

“This Year-End Fundraiser isn’t just about dollars—it’s about dignity, hope, and impact,” said Chris Capper, Founder and Executive Director of Just One More Ministry. “For just 14 cents per pound, donors help turn food that would otherwise be wasted into life-sustaining meals. Every dollar raised provides approximately seven pounds of rescued food, making this truly the best bargain in charity. We’re inviting our community to help ‘water the JOMM Giving Tree’ and help us bloom even brighter in the year ahead.”

The math behind "Rescued Food."

JOMM operates with an efficiency-driven model designed to maximize donor impact. Food rescue and distribution costs are kept low, with volunteers powering operations six days a week, ensuring that donor dollars stretch further to meet rising community needs. In 2024, the ministry exceeded projected impact goals, continuing a decade of steady growth that includes the acquisition of a 24,000-square-foot warehouse in 2019 and the launch of weekly mobile outreach trucks in 2021 to serve underserved neighborhoods across Milwaukee.

Donations can be made securely online at www.jomministry.org/donate, with options for one-time gifts, recurring monthly support, and employer matching gifts. Every contribution directly supports JOMM’s dual mission: providing wholesome food to those in need while offering prayer-based encouragement and addiction recovery support to individuals seeking stability and healing.

As the holiday season unfolds, Just One More Ministry invites individuals, families, businesses, and faith communities to join the movement. More than $17,000 has already been raised, but additional support is urgently needed to reach the $100,000 goal and sustain critical services into 2025.
