Every year our church provides over 350 Thanksgiving meals to needy in our community by providing them special Thanksgiving bags with groceries and gift cards. Please return bags by Sunday, November 17 filled with the items required on the shopping list stapled to the bag. If anyone would like to financially give to this ministry they can do so online by designating gifts to Thanksgiving Bags. Stay tuned for details on our distribution Sunday, November 24.

As this ministry has grown over the years, we have expanded to include more schools and organizations. This year we will serve the following elementary schools: Berkman, Gattis, Double File, Callison, Robertson, Union Hill, Voigt, and Success High School. We will also include Texas Baptist Children’s Home, Armed Forces Reserve Center, and other organizations.

This outreach to our community is only possible through generous donations of food, volunteers delivering the meals, and volunteers helping organize and distribute the meals. This year we are dreaming big and hoping to have most of our blue bags filled by Sunday, November 5th!

Blue canvas bags will be available on Sunday Mornings with a shopping list attached. You can shop for the meals yourself and drop off the groceries on Sundays during worship hours at collection tables in front of the Twin Oaks Mission Center.

All donated meals need to be received by the church by Sunday, November 12.
