It was a wet, but very successful holiday distribution on Saturday! EFBHNM served hundreds of Fort Bend families this holiday season and we couldn’t have done it without our donors, volunteers and staff!

Thank you to everyone who helped out! Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much to the FBJSL for donating $15,000 to our food pantry. With this money we were able to provide holiday meals for over 700 families in Fort Bend County. The FBJSL donated $375,000 to non-profit organizations this year!

Thank You to our Volunteers!

EFBHNM celebrated our volunteers with a drive through Volunteer Appreciation Lunch today!

Over 225 volunteers were invited. Each of these people volunteered at least 25 hours this year.

A handful of these volunteers have volunteered over 500 hours within the past year! The food pantry and resale shop could not do what we do without these amazing people! Thank you to each and every one of our volunteers!

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post to let the public know that our resale shop, Tri-City Churches Resale Shop was broken into earlier this week. Someone kicked in the glass doors in the middle of the night, damaging furniture and stealing some of our computers.

We had to replace the glass doors, throw away damaged furniture and will have to buy new computers. As you know, the profit they make there goes directly to East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry, Inc..

Thankfully our staff and volunteers helped with a speedy clean up we have already received some new donated items to sell! We appreciate the support of our community in this difficult time.

Please note that if you are ever in need of food, financial services, or anything our resale shop has to offer, just ask! We are here and wish nothing more than to help out neighbors in need.

08/26/2021

Need a new table? Or a table setting? We have plenty! Come to Tri-City Churches Resale Shop Tuesday-Saturday from 10-4 and we can make you a great deal!

100% of our proceeds go directly to our food pantry!

Find your next great table setting for a small gathering here!

We are so thankful for our community partners at the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office! With their help we were able to help over 600 kids in Fort Bend County!

08/15/2021

Come join in the fun! Sponsorships are still available!

Come join us for a run or walk around our “farmtastic” community! 🏃‍♀️

All proceeds of the Outrun Hunger 5K will benefit East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry, the food pantry that provides food and financial assistance to local families in need.

Our goal for this year's event is to raise $20,000. Join in on the fun and support this much needed charity!
