People go to the three food banks of Montague County for the obvious reason – for food. However, much more than food is distributed.

Perhaps even more important than food, clients are supplied with smiles, encouragement, and hope.

The Bowie Mission was founded in 1989 by Earl Mason, pastor of Southside Baptist Church. Mason left behind quite a legacy. Since its inception, the mission has been headed up by subsequent pastors of Southside, currently led by David White.

A lively, close-knit group of volunteers assist White in receiving, stocking, boxing and distributing foods weekly. In addition to food, clothing and household items are available for distribution. Read the full feature on the three county food pantries in your Saturday Bowie News. Pictured: (Top) David Conovaloff helps pack weekly food boxes picked up at the Bowie Mission.
