Serving Others
Care & Share Pantry
Care & Share is a Pantry Service offered by four local churches:
-
St. Peter Lutheran Church, GBC
-
First Baptist Church, GBC
-
First Baptist Church, Payne Springs, and
-
First Methodist Church, Payne Springs.
Participation is open to all members who would like to serve in this service. Contact Diane Brookins. Organizational meetings are held each month, the second Wednesday at 2:00 at the church that is in charge for that month.
The Resource Center in GBC greets the people who are in need of the pantry services, and contacts the church that is scheduled for that time.
The facility where the Pantry is located is on the property of the First Baptist Church, which loans that location to Care & Share.
More information may be obtained by contacting Diane Brookins.
VFW
Veterans of Foreign Wars is located near the corner of 334 and 274, across the street from Brookshire's Grocery. Evening suppers are open to the community each Friday of the month. Contact Randall Johnston or Peggy for more information.
