Welcome

Heartfelt Donations for our 4-legged Friends!!!
Our patron Saint Francis of Assisi is October 4 he is a great reminder to love our furry friends. Studies have found that 97% of pet-owning Meals on Wheels clients agree that having a pet makes them feel less lonely and makes them feel more complete.  St. Mark’s is participating in a pet food donation outreach, helping Meals on Wheels feed those dogs and cats. Bring bags of wet and dry dog and cat food. If you would like to donate money instead please make checks out to St. Mark’s and put on the memo line Meals on Wheels.

JDRF Walk
This is the eleventh year that St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Texas, has formed a team, Saints for a Cure, to participate in the JDRF Walk.  Last year, despite a virtual only walk, our team was able to raise more than $3,500 thanks to the generous contributions of forty-one families and individuals. 

This year's walk will take place on Saturday, November 5 at the Houston Sports Park.  The Houston Dynamo and Houston Dash use that location as their practice facility.   We come together with hopes of increasing the money raised for the thousands and thousands of Type One patients whose hopes remain with the research being funded by JDRF.  

We are taking steps to help JDRF achieve its goal of improving the lives of all people affected by T1D by accelerating progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better treating, and preventing T1D. By joining our team and making a donation, you will be helping us to raise funds to directly support research with the greatest potential to conquer this disease. We are motivated by the courage and perseverance of those facing the everyday challenges of type 1 diabetes - they are the reason we challenge ourselves to give more, to do more, to achieve more. We challenge ourselves to make a real difference in the lives of those with T1D.  

Will you accept the challenge to make a difference by making a donation?  No amount is too small to help those who face the Type One challenge daily.  St. Mark's Saints for a Cure is proud to participate in this event and thanks you for your support of this very worthwhile cause.  Please contact Chris Abbott, our team captain, with any questions.  You can make a donation directly using this link.
