FOOD PANTRIES, MEALS AND SNACKS

Most of the food that Tarrant Area Food bank distributes to Partner Agencies goes to food pantries that provide bags of groceries to families and individuals including senior citizens.  Food also goes to agencies such as senior centers and emergency shelters that serve on-site meals and to programs such as after-school tutoring and addiction recovery programs that provide snacks during group activities.
 
Food pantries and meal and snack programs all have access to refrigerated and frozen foods as well as canned and boxed goods from our warehouse.  Snack programs, for instance, can serve yogurt as well as crackers. Food pantries as well as meal programs can pick up, when available, frozen vegetables and meat products to distribute as groceries and prepare for on-site meals.
