About Us
Our Staff & Volunteers
We could not carry out this mission without our dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers are from varied backgrounds and unite to serve God and their neighbors. Each day is started with a devotional and prayer to set the stage for God to work through us as a team dedicated to the stewardship of the resources He makes available to us.
Volunteer opportunities exist Monday - Wednesday mornings in many areas: clerical and data entry, client interviews, door greeters, clothing room sorters, and grocery distribution. If you are interested, please visit us at the Center during regular business hours.
Our Mission
Our mission is to meet the needs of people regardless of their race, age, sex, national origin, color, or disability while upholding their dignity. We are committed to helping families and individuals in need by providing food, clothing, and household items at no cost. Our purpose is to reflect God’s love for others by caring for them spiritually and physically through sharing His word and food and clothing. We commit to serving others with kindness, respect, and humility.
Our History
Starting in 1989 as a small ministry with a few volunteers from Pine Tree Church of Christ, Caring & Sharing served about 100 clients from a small downtown location. Alpine Church of Christ soon joined in the mission, and it has continued to grow in strength and scope. In our 30+ years we have served thousands of households throughout Gregg County as well as parts of Harrison, Upshur and Rusk counties. Over the years, many local Churches of Christ have joined in making Caring & Sharing a success, including Hallsville, Longview, Cotton Street, West Mountain, and Rollins Addition. We also benefit from a working relationship with the East Texas Food Bank and Feeding America as a “Partner Agency,” allowing access to a network of food donations and purchasing options to maximize our stewardship of the resources God has entrusted to us. We invite you to participate in this ministry through donations, volunteering, or prayer.
