Community Engagement (Outreach)

We are taking care of our BCS Community!

​

These are ministries where we engage with other organizations and community leaders that provide much-needed help to the most vulnerable in our wider community of Bryan College Station.

BCS Habitat for Humanity

BCS Habitat for Humanity is a local/US-wide non-profit housing organization working locally to provide affordable housing. Their vision is a world where everyone has a decent and affordable place to live. St. Thomas has been partnering with Habitat for many years and is committed to ensuring the basic needs of the most vulnerable in our community.  

Brazos Valley Food Bank

Brazos Valley Food Bank’s mission is to provide a hunger-free Brazos Valley to our neighbors in need. This is needed now more than ever given the recent economic crisis and how many families are going hungry. Parishioners can get involved by donating money, donating food, conducting food drives such as the Reverse Advent Project, and volunteering their time at the food bank.
