Bastrop gala to support Feed the Need Missions' meals, ministry

Bastrop residents and business owners can support Feed the Need Missions’ weekly meals and ministry at its annual gala Sept. 12.

The details

This year's gala is themed “The Harvest," and includes dinner, a live auction and an evening dedicated to 16 years of weekly ministry.

Executive Director Jonah Beyer said this year's theme has a special meaning.

"It is the story of sixteen years of faithful, consistent presence in this community," he said in a news release. "We have been planting seeds and showing up, week after week, and the harvest from that work is real."
