Local Good Pantry

The Local Good Pantry's mission is to provide good food and essentials with great dignity to those in our community.

In November 2023, the Local Good Pantry opened its doors. In response to another pantry's closure, we founded Local Good Pantry as a commitment to help address growing food insecurity in the Richardson area. 

Since then, the number of neighbors we serve and feed has grown from around 200 individuals per day to 500 a day. That's 1500 families per week. 

From day one, our mission has been to provide good food and essentials with dignity to those in our community.

WHO WE SERVE

We operate three days a week— Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays-and we support two groups of neighbors:

• Drive-up neighbors. These families and individuals have registered through the TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program) with the North Texas Food Bank. They receive weekly boxes filled with fresh produce, meat, bread, fruit and dessert.

• Walk-up neighbors. Most of these individuals are experiencing homelessness or have limited access to kitchen facilities. They receive "ready-to-eat" bags with water, sandwiches, peanut butter, granola bars and more. On average. approximately 200 walk-up neighbors are served

We’re proud to be part of the Local Good Collective—a group of nonprofits launched by Chase Oaks Church, including the Local Good Center, Local Good Coffee Co., and Local Good Resale. Proceeds from the coffee shop and resale store help fund the Local Good Pantry and Center, ensuring our essential services remain strong and sustainable.
