Riverside Baptist Crisis Closet
The Riverside Baptist Church Crisis Closet is an outreach ministry of our church. We provide food and clothing to those in need with the hopes of being able to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. This ministry serves Walker County residents and any and all families not being served in surrounding countries.
The Crisis Closet was established in 1989 in a small room of the church.
They have had to move three times to to be able to help more families of our church and community.
This out-reach was accepted by The Houston Food Bank in 2002. Food from the Houston Food Bank is bought at low price.
The Crisis closet receives a monthly budget from church and each year a grant from FEMA.
They also rely on donations from individuals, neighboring churches and business in the community.
We now serve over 140 families in Walker County. Food is given to clients free of charge. Clients have to meet certain guide lines set up for us by the Houston Food Bank and USDA to qualify. The amount of food the clients receive is based on the number of people living in the household.
Our volunteers love to share Christ with others.
There is always someone to pray with and give out big Jesus hugs!!
Crisis Closet is open on Fridays from 10 am-12 pm
