St. Thomas and the Galveston Food Bank’s Food Distribution

On Saturday, August 1, St Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church will offer the fourth of its monthly fresh food distribution to neighbors in need throughout Nassau Bay, Webster, and Pasadena. The July 4 distribution was cancelled due to problems with the Galveston Food Bank ability to provide enough fresh food. This distribution will begin in the St Thomas parking lot 8:00 am for volunteers to help package boxes and bags of food into serviceable quantities of fresh fruits, vegetables and sometimes meat. Distribution begins almost immediately. Each month St. Thomas will distribute at least 8 different types of food to the needy. In June, volunteers assisted over 100 cars with by placing bags of fresh produce in their cars. If you are interested in serving or leading in this effort, please email Mike Stone at rector@sttaec.org. Non-parishioners are always invited to serve with St. Thomas. The next food distribution will be on Saturday, September 5. We can do more together!
