It takes the support of the entire community to fight hunger. Every dollar, every can and every donated hour matters.

1 in 5 children in our area is at risk for hunger and over a 500 families are struggling with hunger right now. We need your help to provide them with one of life’s most basic necessities - FOOD. Last year, 94% of all donations made to Devine Food Pantry Ministry went directly into our community. Whether you are an individual who wants to help, or a company looking for a charitable partner, you can be sure your donations are always utilized efficiently and effectively to help those in need.

The Devine Food Pantry Ministry continues to seek donations to offset operating costs and to fund pantry operations. Your support is needed to make the Devine Food Pantry Ministry a staple in our community. You, your organization or business can help in the following ways:

• Donate your time and help us distribute food on one of our distribution dates. You can help as little as one time or help every time.

One of the Devine Food Pantry’s highest priorities is to protect the health and well being of our clients and volunteers. In coordination with San Antonio Food Bank, through their association with Feeding America, Feeding Texas, FEMA, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and our internal teams, the Devine Food Panty is actively monitoring developments related to Coronavirus (COVID?19).

As of this printing, the immediate risk has elevated in Texas and it is important to stay informed as these types of situations can be constantly changing. We recommend monitoring the CDC website as the authoritative source regularly. While every individual should assess their own risks and plan accordingly, at this time the Devine Food Pantry’s events and activities including food distribution will occur as scheduled.

In order to plan appropriately and safely we will be limiting the amount of physical contact between clients, volunteers, and staff to wit:

1) We will, for the time being, maintain our regular hours of Tuesday & Thursdays from 10:00am to 12:30pm.

2) We will only allow 10 clients in the building at one time and require that the each client maintain a 6 foot “exclusion zone” around themselves

3) We will provide each client mask and gloves as appropriate and requiring clients to wear them while in the building.

4) Only 1 client per household will be allowed access to the building. No Children

5) No in & out. Please make sure you have everything you need before you enter the building.

6) We will be monitoring the situation and be making changes to our operations as necessary.

As we continue to support the communities we serve, we will provide you with regular updates via our Facebook page and our website https://www.devinefoodpantry.org .Please bear with us during these trying times.

Thank you for your continued commitment to serving our communities. We'll continue to monitor and adjust strategies to keep us all safe and healthy moving forward.

Shelters function because of the work of volunteers. We need your time, talent, and treasure to end domestic violence.

EWOP's innovative program is designed to transform the lives of women in prison, so that when they leave, they are prepared both for a job search and an alternate path to success: self-employment.

EWOP goes into a correctional facility, where we work directly with women while they serve their sentence. ?The goal? Total transformation from the inside out.

We Create Personal Connection Through Mentorship.
Knowing someone believes in you, that’s powerful. EWOP volunteer mentors and coaches invest deeply in our participants’ success. From the time they meet in prison to after the women are released, participants can count on a support network to help them reach their goals.

Throughout the year, EWOP hosts events for supporters and volunteers to come encourage, educate, and inspire incarcerated women in Texas.
