Pride Charities receives funding for the food pantry through private donations from individuals and organizations, from various fundraising events within the community, and from revenue received through the operation of a charitable bingo license. All monies raised or donated to Pride Charities, Inc. goes 100% to client services. All intakes and services are provided by our dedicated volunteers.
In 2013, Pride Charities began leasing an expanded space in the rear of the Activities Building at RMCC in an effort to consolidate, expand, and prepare this ministry for growth. The food pantry previously operated from three different spaces on the campus of RMCC. The move to the new facility has allowed Pride Charities to expand storage space for food and food items used to serve our clients.
In 2025, some of the outreach activities Pride Charities led included organizing and partnering with RMCC to assemble and distribute food bags for Houston-area homeless, collecting and donating school supplies for a neighboring Elementary School. Pride Charities also sponsored the Christmas Bag Program at RMCC.
The Food Pantry is open on the
2nd Saturday of each month (9:00-11:30).
Food and monetary contributions to Pride Charities are needed to continue this valuable community service.
A complete list of food items needed for the food pantry can be found under the “DONATE” link in the menu.
Nonperishable donations may be dropped off in the wagon located in the Welcome Area at RMCC.
Financial contributions may be made online through the link under the “DONATE” menu or in the offering basket on Sundays. Simply make your check payable to PRIDE CHARITIES or write PRIDE CHARITIES on the outside of the offering envelope.
