Sister Alice Louise Potts

Our History

In 1982 the Ministry had its humble beginnings by Sister Alice Louise Potts a Sister from St. Mary's of the Woods, Sisters of Devine Providence and Suzanne Garcia together began to provide cloths to those in need, "It became obvious that we needed at facility to work out of. Together we opened a modest Thrift Store and Social Service Agency. As donations arrived it enabled us to add food and additional social services." (Mrs. Garcia) Eventually, the Ministry became a partner with the Houston Food Bank and the Ministry was able to evolve to what it has become today.
