· Mustard Seed also makes home deliveries if transportation is an issue or if someone cannot leave their home. We also make appointments for those working or in school who cannot come on Monday mornings. Call 830.315.6104 to learn more.
· At Mustard Seed, we have unpaid servants that help weekly to bag the food for our drive-thru pantries. These folks quietly and faithfully serve behind the scenes and are crucial to all of our food relief efforts!
· Our Mobile Mustard Seed will be out in our community again this fall. We travel monthly to senior apartment communities and set up outdoor “farmers markets” for the residents to enjoy!
· Our weekly “blessings in a backpack” partnership with Nimitz Elementary School is Food4Kids. This ministry serves children who would benefit from extra food for the weekends and school holidays. All of the elementary schools in Kerrville have been “adopted” by churches in their neighborhoods!
· Last but certainly not least, A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU to ALL of the unpaid servants who give their time and energy to make our drive-thru food pantries possible. Our food relief outreach efforts would not happen without all of the amazing volunteers and supporters!
