Every month the number of families that attend our ministry increase and we never cease to meet new families or see new faces. People will actually begin gathering an hour before our doors are scheduled to be opened, as there may not be enough food to serve everyone that attends. Each family receives two bags of food; one with dry goods such as pasta, cereal, rice and beans; the second is with various canned goods.Occasionally, the food bank has free food which may include pizza, meats or fresh vegetables. Eduardo Soto gives a short lesson before the food is distributed. Our ultimate goal is to show Christ’s love and power through our services.

If you are interested in seeing this ministry at work, please join us as we serve every 3rd Saturday of the month from 9:00 - 11:00 A.M. For more information please contact us at 915-593-2772

Our food pantry provides food to meet basic nutritional needs for individuals and families in need. You have served your country and we appreciate your service.

-Without documentation of service status, (above,) we will accept a letter, on letterhead stationary, provided by any professional who works with veterans for a period of 90 days to permit the veteran to obtain necessary documentation. Examples can include HVRP programs, housing programs, employment programs, V.A. personnel, etc.
-Names and some form of ID for all members of household, with some documentation to verify this
-Surviving spouses of veterans or soldiers, who have not remarried and they have documentation to prove they were married to the veteran/soldier

Drive-thru Food Pantries

Drive-thru food pantries are a convenient and efficient way to distribute food to neighbors in need. Many are open to anyone who needs help with food, but rules vary by location, so call ahead if you can.

Who can visit a drive-thru pantry?

Drive-thru pantries are generally open to anyone who needs help getting food. Requirements vary, so check with the pantry before you go.

You may be asked to provide:

  • Your zip code, and
  • Number of people in your household.

You usually do not need an appointment. Drive-thru pantries are generally first-come, first-served, so plan to arrive early because lines can fill quickly and popular items may run out.

How do drive-thru pantries work?

Volunteers and staff manage the distribution line. Here is how most drive-thru pantries operate:

Staff and volunteers direct visitors to the distribution area.

Visitors pull up in their car and are guided into a clearly marked queue. Staff move cars forward to keep the line moving quickly.

Check-in.

You may be asked about your zip code, household size or income for the pantry's records.

Rules vary by pantry, but many help people who are:

  • All ages, races and marital status
  • Unemployed or underemployed
  • Retired, living on social security or other limited income
  • Physically or mentally disabled
  • Experiencing homelessness or housing instability

Tips for Visiting a Food Pantry

Show up early.

This is very important. This means you will be first in line and have a chance to get the items that are sought after and in limited quantities such as fresh produce, dairy and frozen food.

You don't usually need to show up hours ahead of time but coming at least an hour before is usually a good idea.

Remember all documentation.

Some food pantries require documentation to prove who you are, and in some cases, where you live.

This is to make sure people are not coming more than they are allowed or using fake names to do so. Call ahead of time to find out what documentation is needed.

This is often a photo ID and a piece of mail that verifies your address.

Use several food banks.

Using more than one food bank (when available) is smart because you may be able to get something at one that you may not get at another.

For instance, one may have a deal with a local gardener that gives them their extras. This may mean this food bank has more produce.

Eligible for other programs?

Ask your Department of Social Services office if you are eligible for other assistance programs to supplement your household’s food supply.

They can easily tell you if you can apply for WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), USDA Commodities or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.

Ask about extras.

If you have special needs for infants or special diets, the pantries may be able to assist you.

Many times, they can help with diapers, baby formula, baby food, personal hygiene products, and even special diet items like gluten free or sugar free foods.

Go on different days of the week.

Depending on the food pantry, they may be open only one or two days a week or they may be open all seven days. When you have a choice, going midweek is often best as it is less crowded.

Be polite to workers.

Nearly everyone at a food bank is a volunteer. Be polite to the workers there as they often deal with highly emotional situations.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What is the difference between a food bank and a food pantry?

Independent community food pantries are self-governing and usually distribute food to their clients on a once-a-month basis. A food bank is the storehouse for millions of pounds of food and other products that go out to the community. A food pantry functions as the arms that reach out to that community directly.

2. What kind of food is at a food pantry?

Food pantries typically provide shelf-stable items such as:

  • Peanut butter
  • Canned soup
  • Canned fruit
  • Canned vegetables
  • Pasta
  • Canned beans
  • Canned stew
  • Canned fish

3. Who can go to a food pantry?

Rules vary by food pantry. Many ask only that you say you need help, while others may ask for ID, proof of address, income information, or a referral. Call ahead to find out what to bring.

4. What is the difference between a food pantry and a soup kitchen?

A food pantry often provides food packages meant to last a few days to families that have a place to live, but not enough food. These packages are designed to provide nutritionally balanced meals. Soup kitchens serve individuals in need of a hot meal, the only meal of the day for many of them.

5. How does a food pantry work?

Food banks acquire large donations of food from the food industry and distribute it to organizations that feed hungry people. Those organizations then provide this food directly to families in need.
