Conroe, Texas (May 14, 2012) - The Ark Family Church recently conducted a FUND DRIVE with the membership on 2 consecutive Sundays-4/28 and 5/5 and was able to raise $25,000 for the Montgomery County Food Bank. Community food drives have slowed down, but demand for food in the county has risen, leaving a shortage of food on the shelves in the warehouse. The Ark Church was made aware of the “empty shelves” and filmed footage of the MCFB warehouse. The film was shown to the congregation during a worship service in April. They vowed to once again “Break the Bank”!
