In May, CPC is participating in a statewide initiative focused on addressing gun violence. Vidas Robadas (Stolen Lives) is a Texas Impact project where names of gun violence victims are written on t-shirts and displayed outside churches and other institutions. Through memorializing victims of gun violence, Vidas Robadas localizes and makes visible the reality of gun violence for communities across our state.
To learn more, contact the church office.
CPC is asking city leaders to consider policies that will better address the crises that our neighbors without homes are facing. Staff have met with leaders to ask for more emergency shelter beds and greater accessibility for individuals with the highest risk. We’re also asking for safe places for our neighbors to camp and park their cars. Read more about our advocacy efforts and the Neighbors Program here.
Our unhoused neighbors who come to Central Mission on Thursdays have been very appreciative of the clothing that we offer each week.
However, there is a huge ongoing need for men’s pants, jackets, shirts and shoes.
Donations can be dropped of at CPC Tuesday-Friday between 9:00 and 2:00. Thank you for your generosity!
