Tomball emergency assistance group opens client space at Village Square Drive, thanks council
Summary
Barry Hart, executive director of Tomball Emergency Assistance Ministries, told the council his organization opened a client service space on Village Square Drive and thanked the city for providing the site; he said clients appreciate not having to wait on the Main Street sidewalk.
Barry Hart, executive director of Tomball Emergency Assistance Ministries, thanked the council for providing space on Village Square Drive and said the organization opened the site to clients the day before the workshop. "Our clients say, we're glad to be off the sidewalk on Main Street," Hart said, and volunteers have likewise welcomed the space.
Hart told the council the ministry acquired the property in March and has used the site to meet with clients and connect them to existing services (food pantry on Main Street and other assistance). The comment was made during the council's public-comment period and required no council action; Mayor closed public comment and moved the meeting to the FY27 budget workshop.
Why it matters: the ministry's new site provides a local, city-supported point of contact for residents seeking basic needs assistance. The council did not take formal action during public comment; Hart's remarks were recorded for the council's information.
