The Food Bank will be open on Monday, October 12, and Monday, October 26. Prepacked food supplies will be distributed on a “curbside pick-up” basis with COVID-19 protocols in place. We need 4 – 6 volunteers to help from 2:30 to 5:30 each day. Please call (512-632-6188) or email (jessirwin@ctesc.net) Jess Irwin if you would like to help with this ministry, which is as important to our community now as ever.

Help Stock Our Mason County Food Pantry- We have a grocery basket which will be used to collect needed items on the 2nd Sunday of each month. Some things needed are: diced tomatoes, canned fruits (no prunes, please), canned vegetables, canned meat, spaghetti, mac & cheese & powdered milk. If you are giving something from your own pantry, please check the expiration dates.
