Our Community Partners and Free Rural Food Pantries in Texas

Special financial donations from congregation members and other area residents through St. James provide additional food boxes at Thanksgiving and at Christmas. The church’s annual golf tournament provides most of the funds. The names of families that receive assistance are provided to the church by parishioners, the Family Resource Center, or other reliable sources in evaluating need. These families are currently having a difficult time financially and need assistance in providing food for the family.  Some families are supported on a regular basis and others on an emergency basis. Members go to the staging area one Saturday a month, pack the boxes and families come to pick them up at which time they have an opportunity to offer prayer and encouragement and show God’s love and the concern of the members of the church.
