Enjoy our month at a glance!

October blew through like a whirlwind with so much activity and accomplishment, it is stunning to see all the Lord is doing through every aspect of Hearts and Hands of Baytown.

As we all ramp up for the holiday season take time to enjoy the moments, the blessings of family and friends and all the Lord is doing in your life.

We are grateful for everyone who has come alongside us to fulfill our mission, together we are stronger, and together we feed this city!

In Jesus name and for His glory,

Nikki

Hearts and Hands of Baytown

Filling pantries...touching hearts...

Thank you to all who stand with us on the front line braving the elements to serve those in need in our community.

Together we feed this city!

Together in partnership with The Houston Food Bank, and the support of Be Well™ Baytown and the United Way of GBACC, we are able to conduct outside distributions in either a drive-thru or walk-up setting where our neighbors are invited to receive fresh produce, meat, milk, and assorted groceries (as available) for their households.

These events are open to the community and are not restricted by zip code.
