ST. THOMAS FOOD DISTRIBUTION On Saturday, December 4, 2021, St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church in Nassau Bay will welcome the Galveston Food Bank to its parking lot for the December Food Distribution. This partnership will offer their monthly fresh food distribution to neighbors in need throughout Nassau Bay, Webster, and Pasadena.
This event will begin in the St. Thomas parking lot (18300 Upper Bay Rd., Nassau Bay) from 8AM-10AM for bags and boxes of fresh fruits, vegetables, and sometimes, meat and hygiene items. Distribution begins almost immediately after volunteers arrive at 7:45AM to package the items available.
If you are interested in serving or leading in this effort, please email Mike Stone at rector@sttaec.org. Nonparishioners are always invited to serve with St. Thomas. We can do more together!
