Homeless Ministry Needs
Every week at the Gano Mission Center we provide food, clothing, toiletries and supplies to those in the Near Northside community that are homeless or on the brink of homelessness. We are in constant need of these items so we have set up a shopping list on Amazon. Items purchased will be shipped directly to Mission Centers of Houston. You can also view this list to see what our current needs are and shop for these items yourself.
We can always used new and gently used shoes (all adult sizes) and clothing. These additional items (new and gently used) are needed during colder months:
- Blankets
- Sweatshirts, Jackets and coats (men: m, l, xl, 2xl; women: s, m, l)
- Hats, gloves and scarves
- Hand warmers
