North Texas Food Bank Announces Mobile Food Distribution Schedule for Week of October 3
Mobile food distributions to help families struggling to make ends meet due to inflation
(Dallas) – The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) and its diverse network of more than 400 feeding partners will hold public mobile food distributions this week to help families in North Texas who might be struggling to make ends meet due to inflation.
Mobile Pantry participants do not have to register to pick up food but are required to have a vehicle unless otherwise specified. The food is distributed on a first come first served basis. Although no identification is required, the participants will be asked to share their name, and the size of the family and provide a zip code where their family resides to receive food.

Senior Programs
The North Texas Food Bank directly partners with the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to distribute a senior food box program called CSFP (Commodity Supplemental Food Program), locally known as PAN (People and Nutrition). If eligible, a participant can receive a pre-packaged box of non-perishables once a month provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) at one of the multiple distribution sites. Each month, those who are 60 years and above can receive an estimated 35 lbs of USDA commodities in Dallas, Collin, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Kaufman, Fannin, Delta, Hopkins, Lamar, Grayson, Rockwall, and Navarro counties.
