Little Free Food Pantry

What started as the Eagle Scout project of one of our high schoolers has grown into a service that provides critical aid to our community. Our Little Free Pantry makes deliveries every other week to several families in the area and also keeps a pantry stocked in our partnered Hill Country MHDD clinic for clients.

Act II Sewing

Act II Sewing is a group of ladies who meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 9:30 am to sew for a good cause. Some of their regular projects are stuffed animals for St. Jude Children’s Home, Presbyterian Children’s Home, and other organizations and occasions where children might need a bit of comfort.

They make clothing protectors, lap blankets, shawls, walker bags, and more for nursing home residents, hospice patients, and Meals on Wheels recipients. You don’t need to be skilled at sewing to help make these projects and more, just come by and lend a hand.

Kids Hope

Kids Hope is a national non-profit organization that partners young students in need with mentors from a local church, who provide a one-on-one relationship dedicated to supporting their growth.

Canyon Lake Presbyterian Church has been partnered with Kids Hope since 1998. If you would like to be a mentor or a prayer partner, please contact us to learn more.

Meals on Wheels San Antonio provides emergency meal packages to the seniors we serve. These packages contain shelf-stable food items and are meant to address two main emergencies: immediate relief of hunger and potential weather conditions barring regular meal delivery.

Our Client Services Team supplies emergency meals to new clients who need an immediate food source. Emergency meals are also delivered every December to all meal recipients in anticipation of inclement weather.

Sign up for home-delivered meals here.

We deliver meals for lunch, breakfast, and the weekend. In fact, for many of our clients, the nutritious, lunch-time meal we provide is the only meal they eat a day.

To better maintain the health of these individuals Meals on Wheels also provides packages of breakfast food items and/or specially made frozen meals to offer additional nutrition outside of the lunch-time hours.

Potential new clients are screened over the phone and put on meal service as quickly as possible.
