Who are we?
The Commerce Food Pantry is a partner agency of the North Texas Food Bank that provides donated and purchased foods as well as personal care items to those in need on Thursdays from 2 to 4 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church located at 1216 Monroe Street. The pantry is governed by a board of directors, staffed by volunteers, and funded through the generosity of our community.
Whom and how often do we serve?
The Commerce Food Pantry serves individuals and families residing in the communities of the following zip codes:

Neighbors residing within the service area may receive food assistance once per calendar month during pantry hours on Thursdays from 2 to 4 p.m. The Pantry serves 220 individual households per month on average.
What do we provide?
The Commerce Food Pantry offers curbside distribution of pre-assembled bags of dry and canned foods, bread, and fresh produce as available. We also offer choices of frozen meat, beverages such as tea or coffee, and personal care and household essential items. "Plus Personal Care" is a project started through a grant from the Hunt Regional Hospital District.
How will we use your donation?
The Pantry is raising funds to "Meat the Need". We will use your donated dollars to ensure households receive a variety of protein options, including canned chicken, canned tuna, peanut butter, and beans. Your gift is coming at a critical time. We continue to set new monthly records both in terms of the number of households served and the number of first-time visitors seen.
Mission
Our mission is to source and provide nutritious, supplemental food and personal care items to neighbors in need in the Commerce, Texas area without regard to race, age, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, religious affiliation, or political view.
