Amazing Grace Food Pantry continues to improve processes while the number of families we serve continue to increase each week.
We recently adopted a barcode system that allows clients to “sign in”, minimizing touch. Clients present their pantry card and within minutes their 2 boxes are customized and headed to their cars. The process is streamlined and easy to use. Our clients like that service is quick without sacrificing the customization or amount of food provided, plus we’re saving trees by not making copies of sign in sheets – that’s a plus!
This new pantry feature allows more than twice as many families to receive food each hour. These types of efficiency increases are vital as the number of families in need in Collin and Rockwall counties are challenging our ability to serve. We welcome the challenge, but our facility, resources and, most importantly, volunteers are routinely put to the test.
Be it barcode cards, tablets, our new intercom system or the next innovation that helps us help more people, we rely upon YOU to help us meet that need. Visit our Volunteer page to sign up or Contact Us to arrange a tour. You can also visit our Donate page for a one-time gift or to set up a recurring monthly donation. We look forward to showing you how large your impact really is!
Amazing Grace Food Pantry is exclusively a volunteer organization, relying upon the talent and generosity of community members to procure, sort and distribute over 30 TONS of food every month to area families. This monumental undertaking is only possible due to the altruism and support received each and every week from people just like you.

I was introduced to Amazing Grace Food Pantry through a Love Your City Day our church put together. I was so impressed with the efficiency and care that was given to the donations and to those who came to receive a blessing from Amazing Grace.
I quickly knew this is where God was directing me to volunteer. I wanted it to be more than just an event, I wanted it to be a tangible way to make a difference. Being retired I want to give back not only to my church but also my community. We have lived in this community for over 50 years.
I brought both my Grandchildren to volunteer with me and as we left for the day they both asked to come back and do this again. Teach a child the ways they should go. It becomes a special time with their NaeNae.
I know this will be a family affair for us and many teachable moments for God to grow our compassion for others. Thank you Amazing Grace Food Pantry for being God’s hands and feet and allowing us to participate.
Take the time to read some of the testimonials from clients and volunteers on our website. Volunteer or donate this year. It will bless you!
