FOOD PANTRY RESPONDING TO HUNGER

Food Pantry Services


GCA Food Pantry has been serving our community with basic food support for 23 years. We continue to see an increase in request for our services in this post-COVID economy.  We are thankful for the community support we have to make our essential services available to Grayson County families. We are taking every precaution to keep clients, volunteers, and staff safe. We continue to ask clients, staff, and volunteers to monitor their health and take any steps necessary to protect themselves and others at the food pantry.

Service days and times vary and will be posted on this site (see calendar below), our Facebook Page, on K105 radio, on our answering machine (270-259-4000), and by calling 211 (non-emergency resource help line).

Special Produce Only Distributions

1 in 6 individuals are food insecure in Grayson County. 


The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. for every member of the household. 


Hunger refers to a personal, physical sensation of discomfort, while food insecurity refers to a lack of available financial resources for food needs Feeding America's Map the Meal Gap highlights the struggle of families facing food insecurity.

Testimonial

Special Produce Only Distributions

BackPack Food Program

I'm 45 and have congestive heart failure. When I got my disability check my food stamps were cut to $15. Coming to the food pantry has made all the difference. I  am always excited to receive the produce. I hope to volunteer some so I can give back for all the help they have given me. --Pam

BackPack Food Program

Special Produce Only Distributions

BackPack Food Program

GCA partners with the Family Resource Centers in the school system to identify those children at risk for hunger when the school meals are not available over the weekend. This program is funded by partnerships with individuals and companies who become BackPack Buddies helping us provide 10-15 kid-friendly food items to be distributed weekly to pre-school through high school students. For $10 a  month or $120 annually sponsors can feed one student for the entire school year.
