We LOVE donations! Read further for more details…

Food Donations
We will share which items are in short supply on Facebook and Twitter, and at times on our homepage. Keep in mind that our great relationship with the North Texas Food Bank allows us to acquire food at a fraction of retail cost, making monetary donations go much further. This relationship also allows us to visit local groceries for direct pickups of near-expiration items. All of these food items are within USDA guidelines for distribution and we select healthy items to include in our client boxes along with fresh fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy.

Non-Food Donations
Paper products, diapers, toiletries and other household consumables are always in demand. Being able to provide these items to our clients, in addition to over 100lbs of food each week, always puts a smile on their faces… and ours! Let us know if you have items to bring us.

Volunteers are at the pantry Mondays 8am-12pm, Tuesdays 10am-2pm, Thursdays 8am-12pm and 5pm-8pm, and Saturdays 8am-12pm.

During the uncertain and scary times of the COVID-19 crisis, families relied on local food pantries and other relief efforts more than ever. Our dedicated volunteers and community service members continued to give out as much food as possible to keep our neighbors healthy.

At this time, volunteers are are continuing an enhanced sanitizing effort for surfaces frequently used. Volunteers and clients are welcome to wear masks and other PPE if/when appropriate for their comfort and safety. However, there is currently no requirement in place for these measures generally. Volunteers continue to bring each client’s supply of groceries, including fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meats, bread and desserts to their vehicles.

We graciously welcome your support through donations and volunteering. This has been a learning process for all of us, but with your help, we can all continue to #FightHunger Together!

We know this sounds amazing, but it’s true. At Amazing Grace Food Pantry, everyone is a volunteer… including the Board of Directors. While the lack of salaries alone brings costs down considerably, the idea that $10 is enough to provide a family of 4 a significant amount of their monthly food needs seems far-fetched.

As a proud agency member with the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB), we enjoy a great relationship with NTFB and their retail partners such as Walmart, Target, Kroger and many more. Some items come to our pantry through direct orders with NTFB. However, much of the food and household goods we acquire come from these retail partners as donations. Combine this benefit with donations from generous community members and you can see how assembling boxes of staples, grains, meats and dairy products comes to cost very little. Thanks to Operation Kindness, we also provide pet food so our clients’ pets don’t go hungry as well.

Why is this important? Not only does this allow us to help so many more people in need, it also allows those looking to donate to support the pantry a tangible amount to gauge the efficacy of their gift. Each $10 donation equates to enough food for a family of 4 for a month… currently that’s biweekly visits where they receive 100-130 lbs of food plus a monthly allotment of non-food household supplies as available.

Part of that $10 goes to pay the pantry’s water, electric and trash bills, along with some portion for maintenance and future planning. Increasing efficiency and planning future expansion to meet the growing need is an important, though secondary, part of our mission to help #FightHunger in North Texas.

Amazing Grace Food Pantry exists to assist and serve our community by being an example of Christ’s love and grace through serving families in their Fight Against Hunger in North Texas.

If you’re looking for a brief summary to use for a press release or other marketing material to help us help more families in need, please use the following verbiage…

Amazing Grace Food Pantry is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization providing free food to families in need in Collin County and Rockwall County. As a proud agency member with the North Texas Food Bank and a 100% volunteer organization, we rely solely upon the generosity of the community to meet the growing need for low-income families.

While we hate to turn away those in need, clients must meet TEFAP income guidelines to receive food assistance on an ongoing basis. New and potential clients are encouraged to visit during regular operating hours to complete the new client forms and to discuss their situation. No one deserves to go hungry due to a temporary setback or bureaucratic red tape.

We also welcome those needing to work off hours of Community Service in Collin County (and now Dallas County).

We are all volunteers at Amazing Grace Food Pantry. No one receives a salary.

As a proud partner agency with the North Texas Food Bank, we get food from the food bank as well as direct pickups from generous community stores like Walmart, Target and other retail partners.

We also receive infrequent donations from community members. Please like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to stay updated on our latest needs. Some items go faster than others and some are simply difficult to acquire through our partner network… maybe you can help bridge that gap!

On average, Amazing Grace Food Pantry serves hundreds of families every month. Some visit every two weeks, others may visit less frequently according to their needs. For 2022, we served over 2400 families with nearly 3,000,000 lbs of nutritious food.

These numbers only continue to grow with the increasing need. To learn more, schedule a tour or volunteer, please call (972) 292-7241 to leave a voicemail message. We’d love to share our history, vision and plans with you and to help you get involved.

While, on occasion, a volunteer has delivered groceries as an alternate, it is not a policy due to the lack of staff or volunteers.

However, we do have a policy in place to allow for an alternate person to pick up and deliver to the homebound. If there is a neighbor, friend or family member that can pick up for the homebound, they simply fill out a short form with the homebound client’s approval and may pick up weekly for the client for as long as needed.

To discuss your special circumstance and for more information, please call (972) 292-7241 to leave a voicemail message, or use our Contact form. We will make every effort to assist you.
