The LBA Crisis Center ministry is funded by the local Baptist churches and their members, and is designed to help those who need assistance with food.   The Crisis Center does not assist with clothing, paying of utitilites, or other needs. Churches are encouraged to refer people demonstrating need for food to the LBA Crisis Center
