Shirley Kay Combs is the owner/operator of
Shirley's Soul Food Restaurant, Toccoa, GA. It's a tiny spot, but don't let the size fool you. There's a huge ministry inside. After her daily lunch crowd, at 2 pm, she feeds the homeless & needy. Through the meal ministry she feeds up to 20 people each day. She also provides a clothes closet & a food pantry which are supplied by donations.

Miss Shirley hosts two shelters for the homeless. She offers a 6 - 7 month program of spiritual help, Bible study & other assistance. Her vision is to see the residents come to know Christ, be freed from addiction, be involved in a local church, get jobs & a place of their own.
