The 2025 MLK Hunger Bowl at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church



Fort Worth, Texas – New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church, in collaboration with partners Midwest Food Bank, Secured Moving Company, the Sheriff’s Department Detail, and the Ministers Justice Coalition, is proud to host the 2025 MLK Hunger Bowl on Thursday, January 9, 2025, at 3:00 PM. This event is part of the 2025 MLK End Hunger Challenge, aimed at addressing the hunger crisis in Fort Worth’s 76104 ZIP code, which has the lowest life expectancy in Texas.


Since its founding in 1964, New Mount Rose has been a cornerstone of support in the Fort Worth community, providing spiritual nourishment and essential resources to those in need. Whether offering physical food or spiritual care, New Mount Rose continues to “fill our neighbors’ bowls with blessings for their souls.”


The MLK Hunger Bowl at New Mount Rose is a pivotal event in the ongoing fight against hunger, a reflection of the core values Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for throughout his life—selflessness, service, and community unity. This year’s Hunger Bowl will provide food, prayer, and a sense of hope to over 500 families in underserved areas of Fort Worth.


“We are grateful for the opportunity to continue Dr. King’s legacy of service, particularly in our 76104 community,” said Pastor Kyev P. Tatum. “This event is not only about feeding the body but also nourishing the spirit. Our aim is to address the food insecurity that so many of our neighbors face and ensure they feel the support and love of this community.”


The MLK Hunger Bowl will feature:

• Free food distribution for families, including canned goods, fresh produce, bread, milk, pastries, and more.

• Community prayers to uplift and encourage those in need.

• Information on resources and support for individuals facing food insecurity and other challenges.


The MLK End Hunger Challenge was inspired by the teachings of Dr. King, reminding us that “Giving is better than receiving.” The event will serve as a gathering place for neighbors to connect, share in the spirit of unity, and receive the support needed to help them thrive.


Fort Worth resident Sheretta Glenn, who attended last year’s event, shared her gratitude:

“It means a lot for me to come to these events and get food I can’t afford. It’s a whole lot of weight lifted off my shoulders. Everything is so expensive right now, and I’m thankful for what this church does.”


New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church is committed to serving the 76104 community year-round, but the MLK Hunger Bowl offers a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together to help those in need.

• Attend the event and share in this communal effort.

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...

Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, hosted an extraordinary event honoring the trailblazing women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, affectionately known as the “Six Triple Eight.” This all-Black, all-female unit of the Women’s Army Corps made history during World War II by clearing a staggering 17 million-piece mail backlog in Europe, ensuring that American service members received their much-needed letters from home. Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time. In recognition of their extraordinary service, the battalion was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022, the highest civilian ho...
