What is the Community Food Pantry of McKinney

The Community Food Pantry is a nonprofit outreach program that provides food to families who have found themselves in crisis. You might ask who are those in crisis?


  • Those in crisis are people who may be out of work.
  • Those in crisis are those who have lost income due to illness, medical bills, maybe a death in the family.
  • Those in crisis are people who have had an addition to their family and cannot make ends meet.
  • Those in crisis are the hungry in our community for whatever reason.


We are not bound by any geographical scope and we hold a 501(c)3 classification from the Internal Revenue Service. We are staffed by volunteers, and have been a part of this community for 44 years.
