The Heart of the Mission
Last Thursday, September 24, community partners, friends, supporters, board members, volunteers, and staff gathered for Mission Northeast’s annual fundraising dinner. It was an evening filled with gratitude, generosity, friendship, and a shared commitment to caring for our community.
We were honored to hear from and be joined by:
Judge Mark Keough
Lone Star College President Dr. Melissa Gonzalez
Commissioner Matt Gray
Sergeant David Miller
Fire Chief Howard Rinewalt
We are also grateful for the businesses, churches, organizations, and community partners who continue to stand alongside Mission Northeast:
Entergy, represented by Andrew Copeland
Insperity, represented by Amy Anderson
H-E-B, represented by Blake Willenborg
Buster Brown Propane, represented by Jan Peterson and Matt Peterson
Stoecker Corporation, represented by John Sellnar
East Montgomery County Improvement District
Christ the King Lutheran Church
Kingwood Women’s Club
Northeast Hospital Foundation
Lone Star College
These partnerships are about so much more than one evening. They represent people and organizations who believe in strengthening our community and caring for our neighbors.
At Mission Northeast, we have the privilege of walking alongside families during some of their most difficult seasons: providing food, clothing, and housewares, helping families remain housed through rent and utility assistance, feeding children through our Buddy Bag program, supporting seniors, and creating pathways forward through education and job training. We do not do any of this alone.
To every sponsor, donor, speaker, community partner, board member, volunteer, staff member, and friend who helped make this evening possible: thank you. Thank you for showing up, giving generously, and believing in the people we serve. Most of all, we are grateful for God’s faithfulness to Mission Northeast and for the people he continues to bring alongside this ministry. There is so much more ahead, and we are grateful to have this community walking with us.
