Southeast Texas Ministry and Volunteer Opportunities
The Giving Field – Benefiting Some Other Place
For those in need, Southeast Texas soup kitchens nourish the body – and often the spirit.
Like other non-profits, Southeast Texas soup kitchens have been hit hard by government cutbacks and a decline in charitable giving (as people earn less, they also give less).
One wonderful Southeast Texas resource is stepping in to take up the slack.
The Giving Field is a Beaumont urban garden. The garden resides on the campus of St. Anne’s Catholic church, just a brief walk from St. Anne’s Catholic School.
Volunteers plant, tend, and harvest the crops at The Giving Field year round. There is also a chicken coop which provides eggs, a wonderful protein source for Southeast Texas soup kitchens.
The Giving Field supports:
- Some Other Place Beaumont
- The Hospitality Center Port Arthur
Their donations of food to these SETX soup kitchens has a number of benefits:
- They reduce the amount of processed foods needed by the soup kitchens.
- In many cases, the fresh produce donated by The Giving Field, is the only fresh produce people receive that day.
- With all of the cutbacks in government funding and charitable giving, The Giving Field has helped SETX Soup kitchens dramatically stretch their budgets.
