New:  Fan Request

The Corpus Christi Food Pantry and Assistance serves many clients in need of fans during the summer season. Most of our clients live downtown in crowded multi-family buildings with no air conditioning and often not even a fan. If you can donate a new or used fan, please bring it to Corpus Christi, 3 Crown Street. Monday/Wednesday 9 am-12 pm or Tuesday/Thursday 1-4 pm. If you are interested in donating or funding, that will help us provide fans this summer. We will shop and share the fans with those who need them most! We appreciate your support and any help you can provide.

God Bless!
