Spring is a time of hope and promise, and Catholic Charities East Texas is looking forward to an even more productive year as we give assistance to the people of East Texas.
In 2011, we accomplished great things, including:

According to Smith County Extension horticulturist Keith C. Hansen, “there’s nothing better than harvesting fresh garden produce right out of a backyard garden; a successful garden harvest depends on many important steps, from the garden site itself to proper care of the plants.”

Tips to prepare for the upcoming gardening season include:

Our new website – ccetx.org – contains information about the services we provide.

Learn about our work with the East Texas Regional Food Bank to help partner pantries purchase low-cost food, as well as our new Community Gardening Program that encourages communities and individuals to plant gardens and donate raised produce to local pantries.

Information about Immigration Legal Services assistance and our Beat the Heat Initiative can also be found on the website.

The garden provided a number of recipient families with produce like fresh tomatoes, peppers and squash, Nelms said. (Catholic Charities East Texas)

Three different East Texas communities have taken to heart the Gospel mandate to feed the hungry by growing community gardens. St. Therese Parish in Canton and Jacksonville’s Our Lady of Sorrows Parish have created onsite gardens cared for by parishioners, while in Mount Pleasant, an ecumenical effort at a local community college campus falls under the umbrella of a countywide program.
