CHILD ADVOCATES SNACK BAGS
Volunteer Opportunity: Snack Bag Assembly for Child Advocates of Fort Bend
Every month, over 150 snack bags are assembled to support children served by Child Advocates of Fort Bend during their forensic interviews. These snack bags provide a comforting treat in a challenging time.
As a volunteer, you'll receive a shopping list and a grocery card to purchase items to assemble the bags.

Your support can make a meaningful difference in these children's lives!LOVING CREATIONS
This ministry meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month in the SCM workroom from 10:00 a.m. to noon to create items for people in need. Their projects are labors of love and bring happiness to all who receive them. For more information, contact Jenny Lee at [email protected]
OUR DAILY BREAD
Help us re-package baked goods (bread, bagels, pastries, etc.) from local businesses to be donated to Our Lady of Guadalupe to be distributed to those in need in the Rosenberg area. We meet Mondays at 9:30am in the SCM workroom.
St. Laurence provides material and emotional support for refugee families sponsored through Associated Catholic Charities who are facing the challenge of adapting to American society. Families come from several different locations and cultures: Africa, Burma, Cuba, Colombia, Vietnam, Russia, Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan just to name a few. For volunteer information, please contact the Social Concerns Ministry office at [email protected]
REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT
Our Village Program matches parish families with families that struggle each month to make ends meet. Car tags, a sick child and no insurance, a birthday, car repairs… all these sorts of events tend to keep struggling families on the edge of financial ruin. Matched families are a wonderful way to offer direct assistance, see the fruits of your labor, and make a real difference in the lives of those in need.
THE VILLAGE PROGRAM
Consider adopting a Village family, hear their story, embrace their struggle, and help them monthly with a gift card (for food, gas, etc.). Monthly gift cards are disbursed by the SCM staff. Monetary values cannot exceed $100.00 per month. If you are interested in becoming a Village adopting family, please contact Christine in the Social Concerns office at [email protected]
