Overcomers Outreach: From Easter Celebration to Year-Round Commitment

Overcomers Outreach has set an ambitious goal for 2025, aiming to broaden its community support through various outreach initiatives in Galveston County. Following the success of their Easter Celebration, which engaged over 300 participants, the organization is bringing dignity and hope to families, children, and the homeless community throughout the year.

A Successful Easter Celebration

In April 2025, Overcomers Outreach joined forces with Spike Electric and several local organizations to host an Easter Celebration at Menard Park. This event was not merely a festive occasion, but a significant outreach endeavor that provided essential supplies like Easter baskets, meals, blankets, hygiene items, and clothing to those in need. Cole Attaway, CEO of Spike Electric, emphasized that the focus was not on charity alone, but rather on fostering connection and dignity for the attendees.

The event primarily focused on three groups:

• - Children Without Families: Ensuring that kids, who lack a stable family environment, could experience the joy of Easter.
• - Low-Income Families: Providing resources and joy to families facing financial difficulties during this season.
• - The Homeless Community: Delivering essential supplies and care packages to individuals undergoing hardship.

The teamwork from participating organizations like His Recovery Home, Seawall Church, and JankieFit played a crucial role in making the event successful, highlighting the importance of collaboration among nonprofits, businesses, and faith communities to uplift those often overlooked.

Ongoing Community Outreach

Fueled by the success of the Easter event, Overcomers Outreach launched its 2025 Community Outreach Series, aiming to continually address community needs while cultivating a sense of belonging across Galveston County. Starting in May, outreach events are scheduled monthly on the second Saturday of each month at Menard Park, ensuring ongoing support with fresh meals, supplies, and vital connections for attendees.

Sustained Support and Future Engagement

Overcomers Outreach remains committed to its core mission of addressing addiction recovery, spiritual growth, and practical care for the community. The organization acknowledges that consistent presence and support foster trust and lasting change in individuals' lives.

Through established collaborations with sponsors such as Spike Electric and local nonprofit organizations, Overcomers Outreach aims to scale their events while maintaining a personalized approach that allows them to connect deeply with the community.
