“Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.” Proverbs 22:9
Join the Faith in Action Committee to volunteer at the Houston Food Bank. Spend a few hours of your time as a gift to others who may be experiencing food insecurity. Your work as a volunteer will produce the equivalent of a meal a minute while helping the Houston Food Bank sort, process, and pack food.
