Galveston has one of the highest poverty rates in Texas, with nearly 25% of residents living at or below the poverty line.
Because of you, Galveston County residents can receive food assistance and other services at the Beacon of Hope Center on Galveston Island. The Isle Market Food Pantry, designed like a grocery store, gives clients the dignity of choice when “shopping” for foods that best serve their and their family’s nutritional needs. The Texas City Beacon of Hope on the mainland provides case management and emergency financial assistance as well.
