MESA-Outreach

It was a great day of service at our Food Fair this past weekend! With the support of our dedicated volunteers, service clubs, board members, and several new helping hands, including Kiesha from Molina Healthcare and her crew, we were able to serve over 170 households on Saturday in record time.

We are grateful for every person who showed up to make this work possible and help meet the needs of our community.

Make plans to serve with us next month at our next Food Fair on Saturday, June 20. We would love to see you there!

At MESA-OUTREACH, INC., volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. With only three part-time staff members, serving our community would not be possible without the dedication of our team of volunteers. From assisting with daily operations and food distributions to processing donations, picking up groceries from local retailers, helping with client registration, and supporting special events, volunteers play a vital role in helping MESA tackle food insecurity in our community.

In 2025, MESA volunteers contributed an incredible 10,018 hours of service, representing more than $350,500 in value to our mission. This reflects the even greater impact our community is making together.

Many of our volunteers are familiar faces you may see again and again. You may know them by name or simply recognize their smile when you arrive to serve, but their dedication is what keeps MESA-OUTREACH, INC. moving forward. We are also deeply grateful for the many partners who consistently support this work, including local churches, businesses, service groups, and student volunteers.

If you have ever considered volunteering, we invite you to come see MESA in action. There is truly a place for everyone here, and we have both the need and the space for you to serve. Whether you join us once, serve with a group, or become one of the familiar faces we see week after week, your time helps put food on the table for families in our community.

We are proud to announce this year’s MESA Scholarship recipient, Yaseen Moustafa of Bridgeland High School!

Yaseen has demonstrated outstanding dedication both academically and through his service with MESA, consistently showing leadership, reliability, and a strong commitment to his community.

We had the honor of presenting this scholarship at his school's recent awards ceremony, made possible in part thanks to our wonderful Board Representative, Michael TonNu, whose support and presence helped make the moment even more meaningful.

Yaseen plans to begin his post-secondary journey at Lone Star College, with the goal of transferring to the University of Houston to pursue a degree in Accounting. We are excited to see all that he will accomplish as he continues his education and works toward his future goals.

Please join us in congratulating Yaseen on this well-deserved achievement!
