In 2022, over 37,000 people received groceries and meals through our two food pantries. Even beyond the pantry ministries, it might surprise you how many events involve food for all age groups at Joy and Gano as well as the homebound on a weekly basis.
"With food prices hit by rising inflation this year," Mission Center of Houston’s Executive Director Jeff Chadwick shares, "our food pantries are absolutely essential for our inner city communities.”
We know it is so important to meet physical needs like hunger and clothing, before we can share Christ as the bread of life in a spiritual sense.
Another amazing fact: About 20-30 volunteers and six staff members invest more than 200 hours a week making this ministry run smoothly by stocking, sorting, and assisting families as they shop.
Thousands of local residents thank you for donating to this outreach, and Mission Centers of Houston appreciates their pantry partners including Second Servings, Frito Lay, Texas Baptists, Panera, Starbucks, and the Houston Food Bank folks that provide food for the homeless.
