WRAF Ministry of the Week: Shirley's Soul Food

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. She also provides follow up care as each person moves on. The Shirley's House Men's Shelter is located at 58 Alexander St, Toccoa, GA and houses up to 12 men. This home has been open for six years. The Shirley's House Women's Shelter has just recently opened and is at 93 Diagonal St, Toccoa, GA. There Shirley houses up to 3 women.
