In 2011 we served a total of 1064 clients in our office, helping Harris county residents with utility bills, propane, prescriptions, rent, food and a host of other requests. We completed 19 home repairs and distributed 5448 bags of groceries, feeding 1184 families, 2811 individuals and 421 families with children. (These totals include our annual Thanksgiving food distribution.)
