Christian Family
Ministries, located at
519 W. Pecan in
Coleman, has been “pro-
viding nutritious food to
low income people of
Coleman County with
Christian love and sup-
port in collaboration
with others who address
basic human need” since
1986. The Loaves and
Fishes Food Ministry
was started by a group of
individuals consisting of
Graham Bevel, Robin
Graves and Mary Alcala
who identified a need for
a “soup kitchen” for citi-
zens of Coleman
County. Bevel had
always been an apt gar-
dener and many of the
meals provided in the
“kitchen” consisted of
fresh vegetables from his
garden. It soon became
apparent that the
“kitchen” needed to be
expanded as more and
more people would show
up for a home-cooked
meal. Thus, a full hot

Opportunities, are a big
contributor, according to
director Vicki Cook. She
carefully plans the meals
around the meat avail-
able and adds nutritious
and delicious sides. “We
operate on totally what is
available,” stated Vicki.
Visitors have the option
to take their meal to go
or to sit down, cafeteria
style, and enjoy their
meal in the company of
other guests. Over 500
meals are served month-
ly and that number has
only been rising. In
order to partake in the
hot meals ministry each
client must fill out an
application showing a
need for assistance.
Once approved, the
applicant is qualified for
two full years. When the
two years are up, the
client must then re-
apply. No one is denied
food on his or her first
application especially in
case of emergency or

is always expressing
gratitude for the commu-
