The Well

Monday at The Well is always a busy day as we prepare for Tuesday’s food distribution. With many of our regular volunteers away on vacation or tending to personal matters, I found myself without the extra help needed to organize the pantry and pick up food donations.

That’s when Jaden Lee and Bob Thomas stepped in without hesitation. Jaden traveled to several of our community partners, loading our box truck with generous food donations. Bob worked tirelessly at the church, helping organize our operations and unload the truck when it returned. Thank you both for your willingness to serve and for your hard work in helping provide for families in need. Your dedication truly made a difference.

I’d also like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Jim Davis for their generous donation of several nonperishable food items. Your kindness and compassion are sincerely appreciated.

A special thank you to Best Buy for their generous monetary donation to The Well. Your support allows us to purchase much-needed food and keep our pantry shelves stocked for the families we serve.

We are also grateful to Leena from Divine Veggies Cottage LLC for stopping by with several freshly prepared meals for our guests. Thank you, Leena, for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

A huge shout-out goes to our incredible 50 volunteers, who came together to serve 338 families with nutritious food to help sustain them throughout the week. Your servant hearts, dedication, and compassion continue to make a lasting impact in our community. Thank you for all that you do!

Finally, we want to recognize our faithful weekly community partners. Your continued support and generosity make it possible for us to serve those facing food insecurity each week. We are truly grateful for each of you.

I would like to recognize one of our extraordinary volunteers from Redeemer Church, Clara Dominguez. Clara faithfully volunteers on Mondays, helping us prepare for Tuesday’s food distribution. When a family emergency arose, Clara stepped up without hesitation, took the lead, and helped organize and guide our volunteers to make sure everything was ready for distribution. Her leadership, knowledge, and willingness to serve truly made a difference.

Thank you, Clara, for stepping up when we needed you and for your dedication to serving others. We are incredibly grateful for you!

We were also tremendously blessed by the Redeemer Kids and Redeemer Students Ministry, who donated an incredible 1,203 pounds of non-perishable food items to The Well! Thank you, Redeemer Church, for your continued partnership, generosity, and support of our mission to serve families in our community.

Today, we also had the privilege of welcoming students from First Baptist Church in Frisco, Texas. These amazing students demonstrated the love of Jesus through their service to our guests. Some helped families carry groceries to their vehicles, while others served at our vegetable, dry goods, and household-item tables. Our volunteers truly enjoyed serving alongside you. Thank you for your hard work, kindness, and hospitality toward every guest who came through our doors.

Throughout the day, 87 dedicated volunteers worked together to serve 325 families, providing eggs, milk, vegetables, fruit, bread, desserts, and other essential food items. What an incredible day of service and community!

We would also like to welcome and thank our newest community partner, Little Rascals Daycare, for generously donating several gallons of milk to The Well. We are grateful for your support! A special thank-you also goes to Melissa Lopes for her generous contributions.

We would like to extend a special thank-you to Alvin Blue Bell Ice Cream for generously donating several gallons of delicious ice cream for our guests to enjoy. We truly appreciate your continued generosity and support of The Well and the families we serve!

We would also like to thank our faithful weekly donors for their continued generosity:
• Chick-fil-A Pearland
• Chick-fil-A South Fork
• Chick-fil-A Shadow Creek

It was a busy, but very productive day at The Well despite the heavy rain. Our 87 dedicated volunteers braved the inclement weather, using their talents, gifts, and skills to serve 320 families with enough food to help supplement their needs for the rest of the week.

A special thank you to one of our amazing volunteers, Kat Ducommun, for preparing a delicious homemade lunch for our team. Whenever her busy work schedule allows, Kat faithfully blesses our volunteers by either serving alongside us or sharing her incredible cooking. Thank you, Kat, for the wonderful meal. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was!

We were also blessed by the generosity of Sheryl and Harold Travis, who drove across town to purchase and donate 340 pounds of nonperishable food items, including canned vegetables, tuna, rice, cereal, pasta, spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, pancake mix, syrup, soup, and coffee. Thank you both for your kindness and generous hearts. Your donation will make a real difference for the families we serve.

A huge shout-out to Ashley for her generous monetary donation to The Well. Your support will help us purchase additional food to keep our pantry shelves stocked and continue serving those in need.

It’s truly a blessing to have so many compassionate servants who faithfully serve at The Well. This week, I want to give special recognition to our incredible Prayer Team.

Every Tuesday, members of our Prayer Team are available to pray with our guests as they wait to receive their groceries. No matter what you’re facing, our volunteers would be honored to pray with you and encourage you. If you would like prayer, simply ask one of our volunteers, and they will gladly direct you to a member of our Prayer Team.

Throughout the day, 62 dedicated volunteers faithfully served 330 families, providing not only nutritious food but also kindness, compassion, and hope.

We are especially grateful to the following organizations for their generous monetary donations:

A special thank-you to one of our newest Mountain board member, Dania, for donating several packages of hot dog buns and hot dogs. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.

We are also incredibly thankful to one of our volunteer couples, Sheryl and Harold Travis, who donated more than 1,000 pounds of nonperishable food, helping us restock our shelves. Your generosity, faithful service, and dedication to The Well are truly inspiring.
