BEDFORD – For over a decade, Bertha’s Mission has been a steadfast source of support for Lawrence County residents facing food insecurity. Founded in 2013 by a group of compassionate community members, the organization is named in honor of Bertha Sterling, a local woman renowned for her generosity.

Beyond providing daily meals, Bertha’s Mission extends its aid through weekly food boxes and by offering free holiday meals during Easter and Thanksgiving. The organization’s impact is magnified by the dedicated volunteers contributing their time and efforts to fulfill the mission.
