Our Story

Pleasant Grove Food Pantry is a non-profit organization that provides food nutritious food to qualified residents of Pleasant Grove.

In 2010, Pleasant Grove Food Pantry was established to fight hunger in the Pleasant Grove area of southern Dallas. On the first day of service, 14 families received food. Today, approximately 400 families per week receive food.

We area a Partner Agency of the North Texas Food Bank. Our affiliation with North Texas Food Bank provides access to nutritious foods that we distribute to the community. This partnership also provides Pleasant Grove Food Pantry with the leverage to turn every dollar we receive into three nutritious meals.

We are a client-choice food pantry, meaning clients select the foods they want. We offer dairy, meats, canned foods, grains, and a variety of other foods. We often have fresh produce thanks to our friends at Our Saviour Community Garden.

To assist our neighbors who have pets, we partner with Dallas Animal Services. The second Tuesday of each month, Dallas Animal Services distributes pet food. Anyone needing pet food may access this service.

Through a partnership with DoorDash, food is delivered to clients who are unable to come to the food pantry to pick up food.

Our hours of operation are: Monday and Tuesday, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. New clients must arrive before 10:30 in order to be served.

Our service area includes the 75217, 75227, and 75253 zip codes.
