What an exciting and meaningful day we had at The Well!
We were honored to welcome Dr. Benjamin Ramon, who leads Friendswood Christian Counseling, to speak with and train our volunteers. Dr. Ramon shared valuable insight about culture, differences, assumptions, and the importance of learning to understand and respect people whose life experiences may be different from our own. Thank you, Dr. Ramon, for taking time out of your schedule to educate and encourage our team. We truly appreciate the knowledge and perspective you shared with us.
A huge thank-you also goes to Laura Robertson, Executive Director of The Mountain, for providing lunch for everyone who attended the training. Laura, thank you for always supporting and caring for our volunteers!
We also want to give a huge shout-out to the Pearland Homeschool Connection group for serving alongside us today. Your willingness to volunteer was evident in everything you did. Whether you were filling grocery baskets or loading food into our guests’ vehicles, you served with smiles, energy, and compassion. Those smiles make a difference to the people we serve! Thank you for giving your time and working side by side with our volunteers.
We were also blessed to have volunteers from MD Anderson Cancer Center come out and lend a helping hand. It means so much to see men and women step outside of their workplace and into the community to serve families experiencing food insecurity. Your compassion, kindness, and willingness to serve did not go unnoticed. Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community.
To the anonymous volunteer who donated several loaves of bread today, thank you! We appreciate your generosity and your desire to provide something extra for our guests. Every donation, large or small, helps us put more food into the hands of families who need it.
And, as always, we are incredibly grateful for our faithful community partners who contribute week after week:
• Chick-fil-A Pearland
• Chick-fil-A Shadow Creek
• Chick-fil-A South Fork
• LongHorn Steakhouse Pearland
• Dollar General Rosharon
• Dollar General Arcola
• Manvel Lions Club
• Walmart Alvin
Your continued generosity and partnership help make the work of The Well possible. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us serve our community.
I also want to personally apologize to an individual who came to The Well today and was unable to receive groceries. Our regular registration hours are every Monday from 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. and again from 3:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m. We intentionally provide both morning and evening registration hours to accommodate individuals who work or have other responsibilities.
Tuesdays are our distribution days, and our intake team are not available to complete new registrations. However, we understand that emergencies happen. Our directors have instructed our volunteers that when someone arrives with an emergency need, a director should be contacted so we can speak with the individual or family and make a final assessment. To the individual we were unable to serve today, please accept my sincere apology. We will continue working with our team to improve our process and do everything reasonably possible to meet the needs of those who come through our doors.
And what a way to finish the day!
Today, 66 amazing volunteers came together to serve 316 families with nutritious groceries to help carry them through the week.
That is what The Well is all about—people serving people with dignity, compassion, and love.
Thank you to every volunteer, donor, partner, and supporter who helped make today possible.
May you and your families have a wonderful and blessed week!
Best regards,
Richard Arriaga
