My name is Bebe Payton, and I am the Founder and CEO of Jireh Foundation of Hope. As a nurse practitioner serving in the community, I have the privilege of visiting seniors in their homes. Through those visits, I began to see something that deeply troubled me—many elderly individuals were struggling to access adequate, nutritious food.

Some lacked transportation. Others did not qualify for enough government assistance. Many were quietly choosing between groceries, medication, and basic necessities. I realized that while programs exist, there is still a gap—and that gap was leaving seniors vulnerable.

Jireh Foundation of Hope was born from that realization. The name “Jireh” reflects the belief that God provides. When resources fall short, we step in to help meet practical needs with compassion and dignity. Our mission is simple: deliver nutritious groceries directly to seniors’ doorsteps and remind them they are not forgotten.

This foundation is more than an organization—it is a calling to serve, to give hope, and to ensure no senior in our community goes without.
