Every summer for the last six years GRACE has organized two mobile pantries each week to increase food availability (especially produce) for our neighbors. We have discussed in great detail what it would take to extend this service throughout the year. So when White’s Chapel purchased a mobile pantry trailer and began offering a mobile pantry to a school with high rates of families who qualify for free and reduced lunches in Ft. Worth, GRACE was eager to join in and offer a mobile pantry in Grapevine!
White’s Chapel has been a huge partner in helping GRACE reach the needs of families and individuals in and around Tarrant County. GRACE is blessed to finalize plans for what we both think will only be the first step in year-round Mobile Pantry food delivery.
The first White’s Chapel/GRACE Mobile Food Pantry is scheduled for Thursday, May 11th at the Grapevine Community Outreach Center at 3010 Mustang Dr. in Grapevine. The self-select pantry will be open from 5:30pm to 7:00pm for families in need of food. After the kick-off on May 11th, the White’s Chapel/GRACE Mobile Pantry will be scheduled the second Thursday of each month with hopes of adding an additional date in the fall.
To organize and serve our “shoppers”, we are in need of volunteers! Please consider coming out to assist with our food distribution by signing up at the link listed below. If you have any questions, please contact Stacy Pacholick at 817-305-4636 or spacholick@gracegrapevine.org.
