THIS MONTH WE ARE SUPPORTING:
Help CCA Feed Local Children This Summer
For over 50 years, Christian Community Action (CCA) has been a lifeline for families in crisis. Through crisis management and their discipleship approach to building relationships with the people they serve, CCA brings hope where it’s needed most—ensuring that struggling families don’t have to walk alone.
But right now, as summer approaches, many children in our community face a new challenge: hunger.
When School’s Out, Hunger Sets In
For many children, school meals are their most reliable source of nutrition. When summer break begins, so does a season of uncertainty.
- 35% of children in Denton County qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
- 1 in 5 children in North Texas faces food insecurity.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
We are partnering with CCA’s Kids Eat Free Program, which will serve 1,250 children every week.
At RockPointe, we are called to love and serve our neighbors. By donating essential food items, we can help fill the gap for struggling families.
WAYS TO INVEST
We invite you to share your blessings by donating from the list below. Every item you give directly supports a child in need, offering nourishment and reassurance that they are valued and love
Please note: It’s important to donate the correct sizes so items can be easily packed into bags for the children.
- 2.05 oz. Macaroni & cheese, individual-size microwavable cups
- Cup of noodles, microwavable cups
- Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli in Pasta Sauce, 7.5 oz. microwavable bowl
- Toaster pastries (e.g., Pop-Tarts) or granola bars
- Cereal, single-serve boxes or bowls
- Oatmeal, individual-size microwavable bowls or packets
- Fruit cups, individual size, easy open
- Applesauce, individual cups/pouches
- 1-1.5 oz. Bags of Goldfish crackers or Cheez-It crackers
- Pringle Potato Crisps Chips, Snack Stacks, Lunch Snacks
WAYS TO PRAY
- Pray for the Lord’s covering and protection over the children served through the Kids Eat Free program.
- Pray that the Lord would provide for the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of every child in this program.
- Pray that the staff and volunteers at CCA would have meaningful gospel conversations with the families they serve.
- Pray that the Lord would encourage, strengthen, and equip the staff at CCA as they serve these families.

Naomi’s Village - Kenya
WHO THEY ARE:
Naomi’s Village is a fully registered children’s home designed to provide intentional care for total orphans. Since their founding in 2011, they have witnessed God’s sovereignty through the homecoming of over 90 children, whose lives have proven time and time again to be miraculous gifts that were set apart to change the world. Their children have experienced the devastating effects of abandonment, terrorism, AIDs, natural disasters, and domestic violence. The prayer filled plans we have for the future of every single child that enters Naomi’s Village are part of a remarkable calling of God, to one day see the comforting of the vast wound that stretches across not only the Naomi’s Village family, but deeply across the heart of Kenya.
