Started in October 1983, The Stewpot is an outreach ministry of First United Methodist Church of Magnolia.  Serving hot meals to those in need, The Stewpot reaches tens of thousands of people each year.  During its first year in ministry, The Stewpot served 6,500 meals.  Currently, on average The Stewpot serves over 30,000 hot meals each year.

The Stewpot is open Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays of each week from 4:00-5:30 pm.  In winter months, The Stewpot may close earlier due to weather.

Numerous church and community groups help serve meals each week, and The Stewpot could not exist without the support of the community.
