As a client-choice pantry people get to choose the items they want most.  Volunteers
assist them with shopping and provide much needed friendship and emotional support. 
Serving over 225 families each month, we want our pantry to be a place where everyone
can feel good about themselves, even if they have a need.  We get to know the people we
serve by name, and we treat them like friends offering hope, encouragement and a
listening ear when needed.   We often tell our volunteers to send people home with the
biggest box of food we can give but if they don’t leave our pantry feeling loved, we have
not done our job.

An increasing number of senior adults on fixed income have needed food assistance.  As
the distribution sight for Sr. Adult Commodity boxes, 24 senior adults from Stephens
County with extreme need are provided additional healthy food items in addition to
assistance from our pantry. We also partner with the City of Comanche by providing
food to the Sr. Nutrition Center where hot meals are served daily to 60 or more senior
adults and 27 meals are delivered daily to those who are homebound.

The Food Pantry also connects people with other resources for utility assistance, rental
assistance, or other basic needs to improve their life. Although we have other ministries,
the food pantry is still the hub of everything we do.
