Community Outreach Ministry Efforts (COME) endeavors to positively impact the lives of those who we serve. We are a public community-based non-profit organization(501(c)(3) certified) that was conceived by the vision of sharing the abundance of resources to change lives for the better. COME's programs are available to anyone, regardless of an individual's race, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, veteran, or disability status. Our programs aim to provide life's essentials, such as food and clothing, to all who may need them, with an emphasis on the impoverished and needy. Not only do we supply tangible goods, but we also provide a peaceful atmosphere for community residents to indulge in the tranquility of acres of open land, the excitement of being able to interact with various animals, open space for bike riding, the chance to have positive social interaction, and more. We look for every opportunity to change lives for the better and to make lasting impacts.

COME has a multifaceted approach in accomplishing our goals and objectives. We take the initiative in implementing ideas that benefit the good of the community. There are meaningful ideas that are not realized because they seem too difficult to accomplish or because no one feels that it is their responsibility, but we at COME feel as though we must help our neighbors and community. We are actively planting, growing, and cultivating food resources to combat food insecurity. Through strategic and effective community partnerships, we are collecting, distributing, and donating essential goods. By hosting multiple events, we are creating recognizable and trusted opportunities for our communities to receive help and valuable assistance. Fortunately, we have the blessing and benefit of sharing information and goods with like-minded individuals and organizations, so that our volunteer efforts extend past even our own capabilities. By directly helping those who need it and by collaborating with those who are equipped to help others, we are combating poverty, food insecurity, and other social issues on multiple fronts. On the occasion when a request is made outside of the scope of our abilities, we do not hesitate to put our constituents in contact with whoever may be able to fulfill their request. Through unity and being on one accord, there is nothing that we can not accomplish!

Being in the heart of Texas's Bell County, COME is privileged to serve a wide and diverse audience with various needs. We are based in Belton, TX, less than 25 miles away from Fort Cavazos (previously known as Fort Hood). As such, our service area is home to the largest military veteran population in the United States. Our constituents come from all walks of life, including a range of war veterans, homeless citizens, victims of abuse, previous felons, students, food pantries, and shelters, all requiring different levels of help. We operate to help the underserved, the overlooked, the rejected, the outcasts, and anyone in between.
