​

Vickery Meadows Food Pantry : Provides food, clothing, a referral list, and accepts volunteers.

 

Now Forward :  Offers food, clothing, medical assistance, rental assistance, and accepts volunteers.

 

Northway Christian Church : Hosts a mobile food pantry on Tuesdays and accepts volunteers. 

 

Our neighbor, Northway Christian Church (7202 W Northwest Hwy, NorthwayChristian.org), partners with Catholic Charities and the Dallas Food Bank to operate a Food Pantry every Tuesday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

​

While we typically serve about 100 families each Tuesday, we've recently experienced a surge with twice that number needing assistance. We usually rely on 12 to 15 volunteers from Northway and committed neighbors, but due to the recent increase, Northway now needs an additional 8-12 volunteers to help sort, prepare, and distribute boxes of food items. If you are willing and interested in helping, please contact Tommy Lozure and plan to arrive at Northway Christian by 10:45 AM next Tuesday, November 4.

​

The Stewpot : Looking for six volunteers to help at a special Food Distribution Event on Saturday, November 8, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at their main location (1610 S Malcolm X).

 

The North Texas Food Bank is supplying The Stewpot with 20,000 pounds of food (1,000 boxes and produce bags) to distribute to neighbors in need, which is especially critical given the difficult circumstances facing families now. You can sign up by emailing Adrienne Nicholson.
