FROG Ministry Inc. Reaffirms Operating Hours and Community Commitment Ahead of 20-Year Milestone

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. — As FROG Ministry Inc. approaches its 20th anniversary on January 1, 2026, the family-run outreach and thrift organization is taking a moment to reaffirm its unwavering commitment to the community and clarify its hours of operation amid recent public confusion.

Founded on principles of faith, service, and compassion, FROG Ministry Inc. has long been a cornerstone of support for those in need across New Smyrna Beach. The ministry’s hours are prominently displayed on its Facebook page banner, and staff members are consistently present and working during those times. Each Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, the team begins their day at 6 AM, preparing for the 7 AM opening of the Foyer Donation Drop Off and Homeless Bag of Food pick-up programs. These early services provide vital resources to individuals and families facing hardship, offering nourishment and dignity in a welcoming environment.

At 8 AM, the ministry’s thrift store opens its doors fully for shopping and additional donation drop-offs, remaining open until 4 PM. This schedule has been carefully structured to maximize impact while balancing the personal responsibilities of the family that operates the ministry. In a recent statement, the organization addressed concerns from some community members who questioned its availability, emphasizing that the posted hours are accurate and upheld with consistency.

“We understand that everyone has different schedules, and while we may not be visible to all at every moment, we are here—working, serving, and preparing,” said a representative from FROG Ministry Inc. “Our schedule reflects our dedication, and though it may occasionally change to accommodate health concerns within our family, any updates will be communicated with transparency and care.”

As a family-run operation, FROG Ministry Inc. navigates the delicate balance between personal well-being and public service. The ministry’s leadership expressed gratitude for the community’s understanding and support, noting that their mission is deeply rooted in collaboration and mutual respect.

With nearly two decades of service behind them, the upcoming anniversary marks a significant milestone for FROG Ministry Inc. It stands not only as a celebration of longevity but as a testament to the enduring power of grassroots compassion. The ministry remains focused on its mission to uplift, nourish, and serve—one bag of food, one donation, and one act of kindness at a time.
