Fill the Pot Ministry, Rev Jay Ragsdale

Founded by Reverend Jay Ragsdale in Salt Lake City, Fill the Pot Ministry grew from a faith-based calling to serve unsheltered and less fortunate neighbors. Its outreach provides meals, warm clothing, hygiene kits, and compassionate companionship, with an emphasis on dignity, hope, and human connection.

The ministry also provides employment and education assistance, food boxes for families, and support related to addiction and mental health recovery. Volunteers and donors help sustain this community-centered work, while partnerships connect people with additional housing, health care, and recovery resources.

Learn more about the mission, volunteer opportunities, and donation options on the official Fill the Pot Ministry website. People seeking broader support can also explore NHREA’s Utah homeless-assistance resources and federal assistance resources.
