Which town should you try first?

Go to the town where you already are. Most of these pantries serve their own county or ZIP codes — a Converse pantry serves Converse families, a Seguin pantry serves Guadalupe County. If your town isn't listed, the closest listed town is usually still your best first call, and 2-1-1 can confirm who serves your exact address.

Two things to know before you drive

Small-town pantries often keep short, specific hours — one morning a week is common — so open the place page or call before you go. And bring a photo ID and something with your address on it if you have them; several of these programs check that you live in their service area.
