  1. One must have a government photo ID with a Walker County address OR a Social Security card AND a Walker County utility bill with their name on it.
  2. One must apply for SNAP (food stamps) first and show evidence of this. (One does not have to qualify for SNAP; one just must apply and show evidence.)
  3. After one can show proof of SNAP determination (yes or no letter), one can fill out our application at the Mission located at 1005 MLK Dr, Huntsville, TX 77320.

Clothing

The Good Shepherd Mission operates a Thrift Store called Bargains and Blessings. Clients that are in need are able to receive free clothing once a month. The store is open Monday- Friday 9:00am - 4:00pm. It is located across the street from The Good Shepherd Mission's main building.

Affordable clothing, accessories, household goods, funiture, and other items are available for purchase. All the proceeds go directly toward the funding of the Good Shepherd Mission.

The thrift store items are donated by our generous donors.
