The Gulf Coast Medical Foundation recently renewed its support of Catholic Charities, providing a $25,000 gift that is supporting efforts to assist low-income families to embrace the benefits of good nutrition. The grant will benefit those who visit Catholic Charities’ Mamie George Community Center in Richmond providing them with opportunities to select healthy groceries in the Community Center’s Food Pantry and also take part in nutrition workshops.
Almost 100 individuals visit the Mamie George Community Center each day, participating in services that include those of its Food Pantry and its Senior Wellness Center.
The gift to Catholic Charities is made in memory of Hilmar Moore, former mayor of Richmond, Texas, and the longest serving mayor in U.S. history. Mr. Moore supported the initial development of the Mamie George Community Center, providing personal donations and also encouraging his fellow board members to approve grants for the Community Center. His son, Jack Moore of Lytle & Moore LLP, honors his father’s legacy, providing support to Catholic Charities and serving as a member of the board of the Gulf Coast Medical Foundation.
Catholic Charities is pleased to partner with Gulf Coast Medical Foundation, with both organizations working to improve the quality of life of low-income residents of Fort Bend County and the surrounding areas.
