FMC Cookers
2025 Year End Review
2025 was a great year for the FMC Cookers! Our Cookers and Wranglers participated in 31 separate events serving FMC and the Community. 2,081 meals were served to both those in fellowship and those in need. We held 6 major cook days during the year (brisket and pork) that was supported by 90 of our Cookers and Wranglers. This is when we process all our proteins for the different service events during the year.
On two occasions, our Cookers and Wranglers were called upon to support FMC at the Spring Luncheon and Chilli Fest with their equipment and talents.
2025 saw us hold our first FMC Youth BBQ Camp where 8 of our Youth learned food safety, cooking, and serving skills. That camp was supported by 8 of our senior Cookers who served as mentors. Our campers made and served meals to Men’s Breakfast and the Church Staff during the week. It was an overall success, and one we will repeat in 2026.
None of this is possible without our volunteers who selflessly give of their time and their talents. Counting each volunteer for each event, I calculate that we had a total of 319 Service and Fellowship Opportunities (SFO’s). Thank you all!
In 2025 our clients included:
Hope Disaster Relief – Volunteers rebuilding homes in the Montgomery area effected by disasters.
Love Heals Youth – Providing leadership training and mental health counseling to Foster Youth.
The Gathering Place – Providing support to Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons patients and their caregivers.
Montgomery County Women’s Shelter – Providing care and shelter for women in distress.
Daughters of the Republic of Texas
The Woodland Hills Community Church
First Methodist Church Conroe
In 2025 we continued to see our ministry grow and received several new volunteers!
All of our funding is derived strictly through donations. I am pleased to say that thanks to our supporters we were able to provide more “free” food to our clients this year than ever before. Thank you all for your willingness to serve and to give to our ministry! We are excited for what 2026 will bring and look forward to another great year of service and fellowship! Come join us!
