Shopping with us
Three steps. That's all.
Many people who come here have never used a pantry. They think they will not qualify. Most of them do.
Come in
307 Smith Street. You do not need an appointment.
Tell us two things
Your address, and how many people live with you. That is all we ask.
Shop
You pick your own food. Come back every week.
You never have to explain anything. We will treat you like a neighbor, because you are one.
How it works
You pick your food. Not a box someone packed for you.
You walk the aisles with a cart. You read the labels. You take what your family will eat.
What happens later
Some people who fill these shelves used to shop here.
A hard month is not the end of your story. It is a month you get through, with your neighbors.
Do you know someone who needs food?
Teachers, church staff, nurses, and social workers: here is what to tell them.
For our supporters
Your help stays in McKinney.
