Beyond the front desk at AGFP
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the front lobby at Amazing Grace Food Pantry?
We’re open for client service on Tuesdays mid-day, Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, but it takes teams of volunteers on Mondays, Thursday & Friday mornings to prepare for these busy client days. From driving to area grocery stores to pick up donations, to sorting / stocking food, and of course the daily task of cleaning / sanitizing all surfaces and floors.
Everyone at Amazing Grace Food Pantry is a volunteer, dedicating their time and talents to ensuring we are able to provide food for hundreds of families every week. From all walks of life, we come together to operate one of the most organized food pantries in North Texas. The hard work pays off when new visitors remark on how clean and efficient our pantry runs, and when new clients smile or even cry tears of joy when they leave with a large amount of food while being welcomed with dignity and grace.
They say it takes a “village”. We say it takes a family… a pantry family. Join our pantry family, bring your friends, coworkers or community organization to become part of this amazing group of volunteers!
Amazing Grace Food Pantry is exclusively a volunteer organization, relying upon the talent and generosity of community members to procure, sort and distribute over 60 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.

We also welcome volunteer groups! If your church, youth or corporate group would like to schedule a day to volunteer as a team building exercise, or to regularly adopt group-size tasks (e.g. yard work, improvements, cleanup, etc.), we’d love to hear from you!

No time to volunteer? That’s okay, too! Visit our Donation page to arrange a monthly donation. No amount is too small!
I started coming to Amazing Grace Food Pantry in 2016. My wife and I are retired and made ends meet ok until my 35 year old son had a near fatal car accident that left him mentally and physically handicapped. We took him into our home along with his two teenage kids. Our Social Security income isn’t enough to sustain a family of 5 with special needs. Amazing Grace Food Pantry provides nutritious food to last the week. I’m able to come every week for fresh produce and groceries that I couldn’t otherwise afford. Everyone here is hospitable and treats everyone with dignity and respect.
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!
