In 1983, TOTAL Ministries of Spartanburg County, Inc. was incorporated by 12 Spartanburg churches to carry on the work of Project Eat. Since then, additional emergency services have been added to the TOTAL mission in an effort to help those in need.
TOTAL is an extension of Spartanburg's local churches who believe in a faith-based approach to helping those in need.
