Our Programs
It takes more than food to fight hunger. We believe overall wellness begins with food and health education. Our ultimate goal is to provide programs that help families obtain long-term food security and become self sufficient. Learn more about our programs.
Thanksgiving Giveaway
Each year we host a Thanksgiving Giveaway where volunteers and community sponsors distribute complete Thanksgiving meals.
Sponsor a Truck
Volunteering with your co-workers is a great way to build camaraderie and teamwork. We welcome corporate groups of all sizes to volunteer at Minnie’s Food Pantry.
Children
We partner with school districts to deliver food and to put pantries inside of schools. We know the importance of fighting childhood hunger.
Drive-Thru Service
Wednesday-Saturday at our Plano location serves families with dignity and integrity.
Our 2021 Thanksgiving Giveaway was a huge success!
Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers and the Plano Police Department for making our annual Thanksgiving Giveaway possible. 212 volunteers provided a total of 1,166 hours to distribute a complete Thanksgiving meal to 4,000 families.
Every year the need is greater and with the help of many, we pull off our Thanksgiving Giveaway with lots of love and a few dance moves.
