The Azle Community Caring Center (CCC) food pantry was established in 1990 as a faith based, non-profit organization.  In 2023, we helped 3,492 food insecure households which included 8,696 adults and 5,390 children. 15,591 grocery baskets were prepared and distributed by our dedicated volunteers and staff to those in need in our community.  We rely on donor contributions and fundraising activities to support our mission as our needs continue to grow!  CCC's success is in part to staying true to our core values:

Community - We believe in the power of neighbor helping neighbor. We reduce hunger by building a network of staff, volunteers, vendors, donors, and clients to create a strong and inclusive community.

Caring - As a faith-based organization, we are called to serve others. We focus on the well-being of our neighbors and provide our services in a kind, respectful manner.

Commitment - We are committed to reducing hunger and believe in equal access to nutritious food. We are devoted to empowering our volunteers and staff to lift up our community. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in all interactions with staff, volunteers, vendors, donors, and clients.


Mission

Our Mission is to care for those in need in our community through the provision of food, clothing, and household goods.

While our main focus is to reduce food insecurity in our community, by providing free clothing and household goods, families can focus their financial resources on other necessities such as rent or fuel.

Needs

Over the past year, we've seen a 40% increase in the number of families we serve, from July 2023 to July 2024. With your help, we can raise the funds needed to purchase foods that families of all cultures will enjoy year-round. These include shelf-stable items like canned corn, beans, tomato products, pasta, and rice - foods that may or may not be used for a holiday meal. We also aim to provide frozen proteins such as chicken, pork, ground beef, or fish, which can be prepared using a family -favorite recipe or made into a traditional holiday dish.

Your donation can help us manage this significant increase by allowing us to purchase more food at discounted rates from area food banks, distributors, and local grocery stores.

Equity Statement

The Azle Community Caring Center is committed to ensuring our employees and volunteers engage in equitable treatment of our clients and strive to foster an inclusive environment in both our volunteer and client services.
