The holiday season is that time of year when we all like to go above and beyond to help our neighbors in need. When Pastor Mark McDonald and his wife Stacy of Christian Resort Ministries and Mission West Church, which is located inside of beautiful Mission West Resort RV Park in Palmview, spearheaded and kicked off the 2022 Holiday Food Drive to benefit the Food Bank RGV they quickly found out just how true that is.

As soon as they released word that the food drive was underway on November 13th food began stacking up on the designated table in the park’s large hall. As the days passed more and more food appeared and generous financial gifts were collected. Residents throughout the park rallied together to help provide a delicious variety of foods for individuals and families in need this holiday season.

It seems God knew exactly the perfect amount of food that needed to be collected at Mission West because by the time the food drive came to an end on December 11th so much food had been collected that Pastor Marks car was completely filled to capacity.

Most of the folks at Mission West may be Winter Texans but with each good cause that is put before them they keep proving that they have BIG Texas sized hearts. The community is invited to join this great group of people at their weekly non-denominational church service on Sundays at 10 a.m. located in the large hall at 511 E Loop 374 Palmview.
