Our program mission is to bridge the gap between hunger and abundance by quickly moving fresh, perishable and other frozen grocery products to high need populations through partnerships with sponsors, member agencies, volunteers and product donors.
Description
Like a market on wheels, the North Texas Food Bank's Mobile Pantry Truck travels North Texas to deliver
nutritious food, including fresh produce and refrigerated items, directly to communities with high need. A
minimum of 3,000 pounds of food from NTFB’s warehouse is loaded onto a truck and delivered to a host site
to feed 100-300 families. NTFB staff and host site volunteers unload, set up and distribute food directly to
recipients from the refrigerated mobile pantry truck bays. Mobile Pantry Trucks can set up in an outdoor
setting, like a farmer’s market, or in a large indoor
space, such as gymnasium or community center.
