Did you know that Texas rates number 1 in food insecurity? Or that 1 in 6 children are hungry?The McKinney Little Free Pantries are a lifeline for neighbors of all ages and walks of life. They help children who might otherwise go hungry when school meal programs aren’t available, provide relief for seniors living on fixed incomes, and support young families striving to make ends meet. They’re there for underemployed neighbors whose wages fall short, as well as individuals and families navigating temporary crises like job loss, illness, or unexpected expenses—ensuring no one in our community has to face hunger alone.
McKinney Little Free Pantry serves as a vehicle to share the overwhelming abundance in Collin County with those in need in our community. The pantry wants to provide-perishable food, toiletries, and basic life necessities with love, respect and dignity for shoppers and donors alike. This assistance is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no rules or regulations as to who receives the assistance. It is the intention that when people receive food for their physical hunger, the also receive generous portions of kindness and grace to feed their spiritual and emotional hunger a well.

The Mckinney Little Free Pantry is committed to building solutions to reduce hunger across the diverse communities in our service area. We believe food is a basic human right, and it is our job to ensure access to food our communities need to thrive. We know that the root cause of food insecurity is poverty, spurred by unemployment, low incomes, lack of affordable housing, chronic health conditions, a lack of access to healthcare, and more. Our vision for a future where no one goes hungry requires that everyone has access to healthy, nutritious food - regardless of race, citizenship, religion, sex, ancestry, age marital status, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or veteran status.
