Mark Blanton
Pantry & Facilities Manager
Mark came to Christian HELP in 2012 to get help with his resume and ended up being hired by the ministry to run the operations of the food pantry. He took to it quickly and now provides the oversite needed to receive and distribute over 1 million pounds of food annually to a community in need. Mark also coordinates the distribution of groceries and holiday meals to 250+ families at Christmas time each year.
Additionally, Mark manages all maintenance needs for the Christian HELP offices. He states, "The most exciting element of working at Christian HELP is watching people come to our office who are so discouraged because of their employment situation, but then see them become excited about the hope of being self-sufficient after they start using our services."
When not working at Christian HELP, Mark continues to serve through a local gathering of the Celebrate Recovery ministry and enjoys family life with his three grandsons and
one granddaughter.
