We serve the greater South East Dallas area including the towns of Mesquite, Garland, Sunnyvale, Rowlett, Rockwall, Forney, and surrounding areas. If you are a Balch Springs resident, please to visit our Opal J. Smith Food Pantry.
Walk-ins welcome; no appointment necessary. Each household leaves with enough food for two full weeks. Diapers, formula, toiletries, household items, pet food, and clothing available (selection varies).
One of the foundational services we offer is a full-service, client-choice food pantry. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we closed our indoor pantry and moved to a full drive-thru pantry method. Although it was difficult to push pause on our client-choice pantry, it forced us to think outside the box and, in doing so, two of our newest services were created. We currently offer two methods for our clients to receive nutritious foods for their families.
