Our story
A pantry that grew into a mission
We began as a small church pantry in Kingwood, Texas in 1995. In 2000 we moved to our own location on Loop 494 in New Caney, and we are still here. What started with groceries is now food, clothing, household help, and a Care Partner for every family. It is still free, and it is still personal.

Neighbors serving neighbors — from a church pantry to Loop 494.
Hope
People come after job loss, death, fire, flood, abandonment, or violence — and some are homeless. A Care Partner meets each family. They leave with food and clothing. The help is free.
