Minnie's Food Pantry of Plano, Texas

Minnie’s Food Pantry proudly serves the community and provides free food to feed families in need. Eligibility to receive food is determined by the federal income guidelines which measures a person’s need based on their income. Based on availability, we distribute eggs, meat: frozen or canned, peanut butter, fresh fruits, vegetables, milk as well as non-perishable canned food items to our clients. We provide a free supply of emergency groceries once per month per household for residents that do not have enough food because they lack the resources to purchase it. We serve everyone from low income families, single parents, senior citizens, unemployed individuals, disabled veterans, working poor, and anyone else that comes to the pantry that needs emergency food assistance. We serve everyone regardless of their race, color, or religion.

Minnie’s Food Pantry proudly serves the community Wednesday-Friday and first and third Saturday of each month.

Additional services provided by our pantry are:

Minnie’s ON THE GO program- A typical box includes fruits, vegetables, meat, and non-perishable items that will allow a family to make a complete meal.
Sponsor a Truck-Team Building Program, Minnie’s Food Pantry will purchase a truckload of food in your company’s name. You and your team will partake in a day of serving and helping feed the community. You and your team will conclude with lunch at the pantry and discuss ways you can continue to be a voice for the hungry.
From Our Table to Yours, Thanksgiving Giveaway,-Local families in need of a Thanksgiving meal will receive all the necessary ingredients for a complete Thanksgiving meal. The families are people that we have served all year as well as veterans and families referred to us by local school counselors, churches and other organizations.
Camille's Kids-When adults visit Minnie’s Food Pantry, many of them bring their children. MFP believes that every kid should 'C-A-Meal'. We makes every child a C-A-Mille’s Kid and provides a fun bag filled with delicious and nutritious snacks.
Summer Lunch Program-provides free lunch to children and youth age 18 and under during the summer. The program is designated for children who receive free or reduced lunches during the school year and those whose families could not otherwise afford the extra meals.
Our Daily Bread-When people are struggling to get jobs and they make the decision to wait at the local day labor worker site, they often have to pay a local vendor for a lunch. In an effort to help the men and women who are already struggling and can’t afford lunch from the truck, our vans deliver lunch bags to the day labor workers who line up every morning in hope of possibly receiving jobs for the day.

Because of the increase in the number of families we currently assist, clients can receive food once per month. If you are homeless and have no proof of residency, we provide special bags for the homeless. Clients can not send someone else to pick up the food, since we require ID to verify your information.
