Thank You H-E-B!!! Through grant funding, H-E-B gifted $2,250. worth of turkeys for us to share through our Mustard Seed Food Pantry! Again, thank you to our amazing church family and our awesome girl scouts for donations of the side dish ingredients to go with the turkeys! We were able to share Thanksgiving Baskets with 139 families in our community! Glory to God!!!  Mega Food Drive - November Chili and Caroling-December We are excited to have six families participating in our NEW DAWN Transitional Housing Program as we begin 2023! We are grateful for this ministry and for all of the support that we have received. As we take everything we have learned since we piloted this initiative with our first participant and envision all the impact that this ministry can bring, we want to ask you to join with us to pray. Pray for each family that is currently participating in NEW DAWN and all of the families yet to come. Pray for the mentors that are walking alongside our participants. Thank you for praying with us! If you want to learn more about how you can be a friend to our families, let us know. There are many, very simple ways. Thank you for your support!  It’s January and not many are thinking about swimming outside in the summer, BUT we are!!! In the last three years, we have replaced all of the huge pumps and all of the pipes and plumbing for the pool at Light on the Hill at Mount Wesley. Now, we need to address the pool, itself. We have multiple cracks in the pool that have been patched and re-patched over and over and over… We no longer can do this. It is time for the pool to be retiled, re-plastered, and re-surfaced. Last summer, we had hundreds of children and youth enjoy this pool through summer camps, play days, and field trips. We know how much joy this pool brought to so many as we were fortunate to witness the laughter and smiles! This summer, we want to expand the number of children and youth who will come and make more memories on our treasured campus, including in the pool. Would you prayerfully consider helping us? Thanks to some grants and private donations, we are more than halfway there with the funding to make this happen! Every little bit helps! If you would be able to help us reach our goal, you can make a donation to KFUMC or LOTH and specify “POOL” on the check or in the comments section if you are giving electronically. Thank you so much for praying for our summer outreach efforts in January. We are incredibly blessed by your continued support! Happy New Year! "Kerrville food pantry hosts mass distribution event" Usually, the group provides 12,000 pounds of food per month to the community. Monday, they received almost 64,000 pounds of food from the San Antonio Food Bank. KERRVILLE, Texas — Unemployment has not discriminated due to population size.
Northwest of San Antonio, in Kerr County, more families are looking for resources to meet their needs. A food pantry in Kerrville is hoping to help hundreds of families in need. “It’s people helping people, neighbors helping neighbors,” said Beth Palmer, the Outreach Coordinator for Kerrville United Methodist Church and Light on the Hill. The ministry hosted their first mass food distribution Monday. Volunteers from several Kerrville churches and groups lent a hand. “We don’t want anyone to be hungry in this time,” said Palmer. Usually, the group provides 12,000 pounds of food per month to the community, but they received almost 64,000 pounds of food from the San Antonio Food Bank to feed even more families.  Light on the Hill has been invited and has agreed to be part of the H. E. Butt Foundation’s Kerrville Capacity Building Program to maximize our impact by strengthening our capacity to become even more effective and efficient as an organization. The H. E. Butt Foundation’s Kerrville Capacity Building Program consists of select nonprofits that agree to work together for 11-months at becoming more efficient, effective, and cooperative. The goal of this program is to help vital nonprofits like ours operate at peak performance. The H. E. Butte Foundation desires to cultivate wholeness in people and institutions for the transformation of communities.
We are so excited and honored to be chosen to participate in this inaugural year program in Kerr County! Thank you H. E. Butte Foundation! |
