"Take what you need, Leave what you can"
The Blessing Box is a community exchange (mostly) for food and groceries. It is free and open to all. If you are in need of some items, please come by and take a look. If you have some extra items, please drop them off.
Items that are in high demand:
- Peanut butter
- Shelf-stable proteins (tuna, etc.)
- Soups
- Canned vegetables and fruit
- Cereal Bars
This is one of a number of such boxes around Santa Fe. For larger donations, we recommend H.I.S. Ministries.
If the box needs attention, please let the church office know.
Backpack Buddy Program is a non-profit charity providing ready-to-eat items to Santa Fe ISD students with limited or no access to food on weekends.

Several times per year, we open our doors to Kairos Prison Ministry so that they have a "home base" for this area. Kairos is a lay-led, interdenominational Christian ministry in which volunteers bring Christ’s love and forgiveness to prisoners and their families. The mission of the Kairos Prison Ministry is to share the transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and lives of incarcerated men, women and youth, as well as their families, to become loving and productive citizens of their communities.
Once a month a team from Aldersgate prepares food for people struggling with housing and takes cooked meals to Galveston Central Church for distribution.
