This article highlights the work of St. Benedict’s Chapel, the largest food ministry in Lubbock, Texas.

Daily Ministry: St. Benedict’s serves 300–500 meals every night of the week to people in need.
Ecumenical Model: The ministry operates as a shared ecumenical effort, with different local churches and service groups hosting each night of the week.
Street Taco Showdown: For four years, the chapel has hosted this annual fundraiser in which host teams prepare signature tacos. The event features live courtyard music and brings the wider city together in community.
Community Connection: The event serves as a "love letter" to shared ministry, supported by local parishioners, including a former president of the St. Benedict's board.
