A local church and a non-profit organization have both made it their mission to work in tandem to do God's work as they serve the hungry, even in the midst of concerns about the coronavirus.

“We've got to-go only meals. We ask everybody to please come out,” volunteer Rev. George Perry said.

Perry, who is a volunteer with Mission Marble Falls, also serves as the pastor for St. Frederick Baptist Church in Marble Falls.

The Mission Outreach Fish Fry at St. Frederick Baptist Church, 301 Avenue N in Marble Falls, on Saturday, March 19, will be a joint effort with Mission Marble Falls with a special goal.

Fried fish and the trimmings at $10 per plate will support the project to pave the church driveway and parking lot.

"It is important for the church to be able to meet the city code," said Grant Dean, vice chairman of the Mission Marble Falls Board. "This is where Mission Marble Falls carries out its work to be sure no one goes hungry."
