Heart Of The City
November 4, 2022
Mission Statement:
“To love others, to serve others, and to help others. When doing all of this, we do it in the name of Jesus.”
Heart of the City Lewisville is a charity centered on a Christian faith that’s served the Lewisville community for three years and has grown to five locations, as of November.
They receive food donations from people in the community, North Texas Food Bank and from grocery stores such as Walmart and Kroger. All to guarantee they have enough food for their bins of food that remain outside 24/7.
President/CEO Robert Veal says their food pantry all starts at building a relationship with the people who walk through the doors.
“The first thing is to love other people, no matter who they are, no matter where they’re from,” Veal said. “No matter what the situation, we don’t ask them for their checkbook.”
Veal says students can help in a specific way by bringing in a needed valuable commodity.
“We’d love it if everybody at Marcus brought a box of cereal,” Veal said. “Cereal is a huge thing…everyone eats cereal. You’ve got to have Captain Crunch.”
