TYLER, Texas — Christus Health gas awarded almost $3 million to 42 nonprofit organizations across Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana. About a quarter of that funding, $800,000, will make its way to 10 groups in Northeast Texas that provide different forms of community support.
Approximately $275,000 of the amount is carved out for Gregg County recipients.
Those recipients include the East Texas Food Bank, which is opening a new community food pantry Sept. 19 in Longview; Newgate Mission, a homeless shelter based on Moberly Avenue; as well as Buckner Children and Family Services, a Longview foster care facility.
