truck, a full 18-wheeler of groceries and essentials from Convoy of Hope
Our goal is 200 families at every site, both weeks.
What we're raising for
The truck covers the groceries. Two things it doesn't cover, and we're raising for both.
Turkeys for Thanksgiving
We want to serve families in Houston with a full Thanksgiving dinner, turkey and all the sides. $35 puts one on a family's table.
Give a dinnerToys for Christmas
New toys for the kids at our sites the week before Christmas, handed out alongside the groceries.
Give toysWhat families take home
Every site gets the same load, both weeks. Then each holiday adds its own.

How it works
One load, seven neighborhoods, and MissionLink handling everything in between.
One truck rolls into Houston
Convoy of Hope is sending a full 18-wheeler of groceries and essentials for the season.
Each site picks up its share
Church, school and community teams collect their product and carry it home to their own neighborhood.
Families are served where they live
Sites open their doors the week before Thanksgiving, then do it all again the week before Christmas.
Churches, schools, nonprofits, businesses and volunteers, all pulling the same direction. This is what it looks like when we all link together.
Three ways to help
Whether you have a gift, a Saturday or a team, there's a lane for you.
Give
MissionLink has no office and no warehouse to pay for. Your gift goes to turkeys for Thanksgiving, toys for Christmas, and what the seven sites need to open their doors. Every gift is tax deductible.
Give nowVolunteer
Help unload, pack and hand out at a site near you. Bring your family, your small group or your coworkers.
Sign up to volunteerSponsor a site
Businesses and churches can stand behind one site or the whole season. Your team shows up, your name is on the site, and we handle everything in between.
See the levelsSponsor the season
Businesses and churches can stand behind this serve at whatever size fits. Every level puts your team on the ground and your name in front of families across Greater Houston and Jasper. We handle everything in between.

About MissionLink
MissionLink is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Anthony and Michelle Minor. We link churches, nonprofits, local government, businesses and volunteers so neighborhoods get served without anyone having to build a logistics department first.
This year that has looked like summer feeding across seven sites, a Back to School Bash in Katy, and truckloads of groceries into Houston neighborhoods. Hope for the Holidays is how we close out the year.
So far in 2026
And the seven site teams opening their doors.
