Located in Sherman, Grand Central Station (GCS) is a hub of support for members of the Grayson County community. Our work is organized into four substantial programs, all of which are offered at no cost to those who need them: 

  1. The Dining Car - Volunteers, led and supported by GCS staff, prepare and serve a hot breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday for anyone in need of a meal (9:00am to 12:45pm). On Saturdays, to-go meals are prepared and distributed beginning at 9:00am. Restrooms, showers, washers and dryers, computers, and advocacy and referral services are also available - all in a clean, comfortable, climate-controlled environment. Approximately 100 to 150 persons are served each day.
  2. Children's Express - Volunteers prepare weekend food supplies for children and deliver to local public schools. GCS anticipates serving over 700 children each week of the 2024-2025 school year.
  3. The Market Depot Food Pantry - Food, clothing, hygiene, and household products are available in the pantry from 1:00 to 4:00pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The choice food pantry serves over 100 families each week.
