Our History For over 30 years, Caring & Sharing has served Longview and the surrounding communities by providing food, clothing, and household items to those in need. Starting in 1989 as a small ministry with a few volunteers from Pine Tree Church of Christ, we served about 100 clients from a small downtown location. Alpine Church of Christ soon joined in the mission, and it has continued to grow in strength and scope ever since, serving thousands of households throughout Gregg and parts of Harrison, Upshur, and Rusk counties.

Over the years, many local Churches of Christ have joined in making Caring & Sharing a success, including Hallsville, Longview, Cotton Street, West Mountain, and Rollins Addition. We also enjoy a working relationship with the East Texas Food Bank and Feeding America as a” Partner Agency,” allowing access to an extensive network of food donations and purchasing options to maximize our stewardship of the resources God has entrusted us with. We hope you will participate in this ministry through donations, volunteering, or prayer.

Our Mission Our mission is to meet the needs of people regardless of their race, age, sex, national origin, color, or disability while upholding their dignity.

We are committed to helping families and individuals in need by providing food, clothing, and household items at no cost.

Our purpose is to reflect God's love for others by caring for them spiritually and physically through sharing His word and food and clothing with those in need. We commit to serving others with kindness, respect, and humility.
