Dinner Bell Ministry started the first week of February 2012. Today, we celebrate our 15th year of serving our community. We are grateful and would like to thank all that have made this possible over the past 15 years, and we look forward to continuing this important food and fellowship ministry over the next 15 years.
The Hopkins Rains County Farm Bureau has been a Community Partner with Dinner Bell Ministry since February 17, 2016. In 2016 the occasion for partnering was “Food Connection Week” which was created to raise awareness of how agriculture affects people in their non-farm communities. The farmer/rancher/dairyman produce what the “city folk” use and need to exist.
The Texas Farm Bureau was founded in 1933 to represent and advocate for Texas Agriculture. It is a member of the American Farm Bureau which was organized in 1919.
Farm Bureau membership strives on building strong prosperous agricultural communities across Texas and especially in Hopkins and Rains Counties. The organization benefits farm and ranch families by saving money and time on everything from health solutions, vehicles, bank, and insurance services.
Thank you, Farm Bureau, for assisting Dinner Bell in providing meals!
We plan to continue fellowship and dining inside every Wednesday with the exception of the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. Parking is available at the church parking lots.
