Mission Thanksgiving


Arrow Ford in Abilene TX

Time is moving on and another year is almost gone. It has been a wonderful year for Love & Care Ministries being able to help as many people as we do in Abilene, Merkel, Clyde, and Anson. And it’s all because of Jesus and your faithful generosity.

Our numbers are increasing as we help more and more people who are in need. We continue to grow and are looking at more rural communities to expand our services. The more we pray about these small rural communities, the more we believe we are called to help them. Please pray with us as we continue to listen, dream and search for which rural community around the Big Country is next for Love & Care Ministries.
 
Once again, Mission Thanksgiving is almost here, on November 17, 2023, at Arrow Ford, 4001 South 1st from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Each year the need seems to grow, and this year is no different. We need non-perishable food (Residential & Commercial), soft drinks & bottled water, frozen meat (deer or cow), sleeping bags & blankets, new underwear, socks of all sizes (men, women, and children), coats of all sizes (men, women, and children), and clothing of all sizes, with a huge need for men’s clothing especially. Travel-size personal hygiene items are always a need as well as monetary donations to fill any specific need as it arises.
Over the past 23 years of Mission Thanksgiving, the wonderful donors of Abilene and the Big Country have been awe-inspiring. I ask you to please consider once again helping us serve the homeless and the poor by becoming a “Wall of Love Sponsor” with a donation of $500 or more. But always remember, any donation, big or small, becomes a great blessing to those we serve. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Love & Care Ministries, 325-670-0246.
 
Thank you, 
Pastor Mark Hewitt & Associate Director Zack Hewitt
 
For he delivers the needy when they call, the poor and those who have no helper. He has pity on the weak and the needy and saves the lives of the needy. From oppression and violence, he redeems their life; precious is their blood in his sight. (Psalm 72:12-14)
