MOBILE FOOD PANTRY
The South Texas Food Bank's Mobile Food Pantry offers convenience to those who do not live close to the food bank, a food pantry, or in rural areas to get access to food .
HOW IT WORKS:
The mobile food pantry will provide recipients with one bag of produce on a monthly basis at no charge at its distribution sites.
To become a mobile food pantry recipient:
-
Go to your nearest mobile food pantry distribution site and
-
Present a photo I.D. to get registered and receive supplement
Once you have been added to the mobile food pantry system, you will be given a barcode card, which will be scanned to receive future food products.
DISTRIBUTION DIFFERENCES:
In order to better serve our community, please be aware that not all distributions are the same.
AREA-SPECIFIC DISTRIBUTIONS
Please note that some distribution are AREA-SPECIFIC and only open for residents who live in the area. This type of distribution requires either a photo I.D. or the assigned barcode card.
COMMUNITY-WIDE DISTRIBUTION
Distributions labeled as COMMUNITY-WIDE are NOT area-specific and can be accessed by the general public. Photo I.D. or assigned barcode card are not required.

These guidelines are applicable throughout our eight-service county area. No exceptions.
