Hill Country Daily Bread



Two Saturdays ago, I went to a benefit dinner for Hill Country Daily Bread. They are a non-profit organization. So, instead of trying to put it in my own words, I went to their website and and copied their definition.


HCDBM is a faith-based, regional ministry that provides physical, emotional and spiritual support to more than 8,200 people living in poverty in the Texas Hill Country.
We are a hub of community resources, services and supplies that are delivered directly to homes by Mentors—thousands of trained volunteers from more than 170 ministry partners and agencies. In addition to food and basic household necessities, Mentors bring hope, encouragement and the message of Jesus Christ to those who need it most.
Our process is designed to foster long-term, meaningful relationships between people in need and people who are called to help… family to family, neighbor to neighbor, a community united to end situational and generational poverty in our Hill Country.


So, a group of us, 10, had a girls night at the benefit dinner. Mac Powell, from Third Day, played, we heard testimonies from families that have personally been helped from this ministry and bid on some things in the silent auction. It was a great time and for a great cause.

I feel like God is calling me to be more of his hands and feet in my neighborhood and around San Antonio. I hope to be obedient to His calling. This is one great way to start.
