COVID-19 Update: All clients will receive pre-packaged food boxes at the door (including whole grains) in order to maintain a safe distribution process.
Natural disaster, loss of home, loss of a family member, loss of employment, major health set-back… all put immense pressure on all of us. Sustaining ourselves through such a crisis and restoring equilibrium and self-sufficiency takes time and a support network.
The Food Pantry assists in the recovery of individuals and families experiencing hunger…with a program that encompasses as needed emergency food, counseling and referrals and assistance in applying for benefits under the Texas Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”).
