If you’ve ever volunteered with Feed the Need Missions, you’ve probably experienced the best part of what we do. You arrive, greet familiar faces, help prepare a meal, share conversations around the table, and watch a community come alive. In just a couple of hours, a whole community is fed, relationships are strengthened, and the […]
Some of the richest Bible teaching happening in our communities right now is not happening in a sanctuary. It is happening at folding tables at our Stony Point site, over a shared meal, after burgers come off the grill. Erin Feldges, who helps manage the site, has been leading it. The approach is simple and […]
Kerry-Lynn didn’t know where she belonged anymore. As a single mom navigating a painful separation, ongoing medical challenges, and the daily responsibility of caring for her girls, life had narrowed. Community felt complicated. Relationships felt uncertain. Even faith—once familiar—felt harder to reach. “I didn’t know where I belonged anymore,” she said. “I just needed to […]
A Letter From Jonah Beyer, Executive Director Every year during Gobble Kit season, God reminds us that this work belongs to Him. We collect bags while we’re still signing families up, and we never know exactly what the final number will be. Over the years, we’ve gotten better at estimating, but we still reach this […]
If you’ve been to one of our Feed the Need Missions sites lately, you’ve probably noticed something—the lines are getting longer.

The devastation along the Guadalupe River this weekend is hard to put into words. Entire homes swept away. Families torn apart. Dozens of lives lost—and still, dozens more unaccounted for. The weight of it all was everywhere. In the faces of those searching. In the silence between conversations. In the thick mud left behind by […]
Every Wednesday evening at the Bastrop Farmers Market, something powerful is quietly happening. For the past eight months, we have been setting up tables, grills, and tents — but more importantly, we have been showing up. What started as a new site has grown into a weekly rhythm of service, conversation, and community that continues […]
At every Feed the Need Missions site, we meet people right where they are. Sometimes at a folding table or under a canopy, sometimes in a drive-thru line, and sometimes with a quiet prayer through a rolled-down window. No matter how people show up —walking up with kids in tow or pulling up in the […]
A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of joining Life Family Bastrop for a Sunday morning service. Pastor Andrew invited our team to share about the mission and heart behind Feed the Need Missions, and to celebrate what God is doing through our weekly community sites here in Bastrop County. We were deeply encouraged […]
