WHAT DO WE DO?

• Society of St. Stephen is a community outreach agency serving people living in the Humble, New Caney and Splendora school district boundaries.
• We are 100% volunteer- we have no paid employees or positions.
• We are open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 am- 11:30 am or until we have served the first 36 clients and typically are closed on school holidays except for the summer.
• We provide, at no cost to our clients, an average of 400 individuals each week with food, clothing and an average of 25 families a week with limited financial assistance (primarily utility and medication assistance).
• Clients can visit SOSS once every 30 days for food, once every 60 days for clothing and once every 12 months for financial assistance. A typical grocery allotment includes canned vegetables, canned fruit, canned meat, rice, beans or pasta, bread, ½ gallon of milk and cheese. Fresh fruits, vegetables and personal products are given when available. We also supply diapers (as needed), laundry soap, toilet paper and bath soap to all families.
• We have three special projects a year. Our Back to School drive supplies over 750 children each year with school supplies, a $15.00 shoe voucher for one pair of new shoes and new backpacks every other year. For Thanksgiving and Christmas we provide over 500 food baskets for a family holiday dinner and gifts for over 1,500 children age 1-16.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

• We receive donations and monetary gifts from individuals, philanthropic groups, churches, schools, businesses, corporation volunteer grants and our major fundraiser, the SOSS women’s tennis tournament held in the spring.
• Our 150+ regular volunteers give an average of 15 hours per month of their valuable time to SOSS.
