The Lake Travis Crisis Ministries was born as a food pantry,  to provide food assistance to single mothers.   It was known as the "Crisis Closet", as the entire food supply was stored in a large walk-in closet!  The Ministries really grew in size and the ability to help people when the Ladies of Charity opened the "Thrift Shop".  The "Thrift Shop" proceeds, with help from local churches, individuals, and organizations, helped the Lake Travis Crisis Ministries grow into the organization it is today!  

Although Lake Travis Crisis Ministries began as a food pantry, now we are able to assist with food, rent, utilities, day care, insurance, car expenses, clothing, some medical and prescription expenses, heaters, and fans. 

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with the goal to serve our clients with dignity, compassion, love, and respect.  It is a very hard thing to walk in our door and admit you need help with food or financial assistance!  We understand how difficult that must be.  We strive to make everyone feel welcome, and as comfortable as possible. 

We are governed by a Board of Directors, many representing area churches.  Our current board members are:

Dabney Cauley, President
Dorothy Boddeker
Nancy Gilluly, Treasurer
Jeanne Jarvis
Bob Kidd
Sue Ellen Martin, Vice-President
Carolyn Parsons
Mary Whitaker, Secretary
Robert Woods
