On January 18, 2025, our food pantry was devastated by a two-alarm fire. In a matter of hours, everything we had built was gone. But we didn’t stop. Just one week later, we were back on our feet—distributing food from the Town of Prosper’s parking lot. Since then, we’ve been operating out of a temporary trailer, doing everything we can to keep our mission alive.
What we didn’t expect was the ripple effect: fewer volunteers, fewer donations, and the same number of families—if not more—still relying on us. The bills didn’t stop. And neither did the hunger.
I want you to know: food insecurity is real right here in Collin, East Denton, and South Grayson counties. We serve hardworking adults, seniors on fixed incomes, and far too many children—1 in 5—who go to bed hungry. At Neighbors Nourishing Neighbors, we believe in preserving life, not lifestyle. When we help families eat, we do more than fill stomachs—we restore dignity, hope, and unity.
Because let’s be honest: you can’t live a full life on an empty stomach.
We rely on donated food and financial gifts to serve our neighbors. About 40% of our food comes from the North Texas Food Bank. The rest is generously provided by retail partners like HEB, Kroger, Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Chick-fil-A, Olive Garden, and many others—as well as churches, schools, food drives, and individuals like you.
Now, we’re preparing to move into a larger facility—one that will allow us to serve more families than ever before. It’s a big step forward, and we’re excited. But we can’t do it alone.
Our greatest need right now is financial support. If you’re able, please consider making a gift today. And if you feel called to walk alongside us long-term, become an N3 Patron with a recurring donation. Every dollar helps us feed more families, restore more hope, and build a stronger, more compassionate community.
Thank you for believing in this mission. Together, we’re not just feeding people—we’re nourishing souls.
Our mission is to provide nourishing food to our neighbors in need through vibrant community partnerships and passionate public support
Neighbors Nourishing Neighbors experienced a devastating fire to their food pantry on Jan 18, 2025. We are currently operating in a mobile food pantry and out of two container conex boxes. We expect to have the property shell rebuilt by the end of this year and then we will need to build out the pantry and offices.
Our immediate need is funding to help with the internal build out. Our estimation is $500,000 for the entire project. This will rebuild the warehousing space, food distribution store, offices, clean room to repackage food, volunteer area, and counseling rooms.
