Community and Drive-Thru Pantry Days



Thanks to Dallas College and North Texas Food Bank, community members can access free food on campus during “Drive-Thru Pantry” and “Community Pantry” days. There is no need to register for either event.
Drive-Thru Pantry
Drive-Thru Pantry days are when community members can drive through campus and pick up free groceries, including fresh produce and milk. Drive-Thru Pantry is first come, first served.
Drive-Thru Pantry days may be rescheduled or cancelled due to inclement weather conditions. The latest delivery information will be shared through Dallas College social media.
- Arrive early to ensure you get some of the fresh produce available from the North Texas Food Bank.
- You must have a vehicle to pick up groceries.
- Drive-Thru Pantry participants are required to share their family size to receive food. No proof is necessary; the process is a self-declaration.
- Read more about how to receive food.

Community Pantry
Fridays are Community Pantry Days, which means the food pantries based on campus are open to everyone (not just students) to shop for free! Please note that El Centro Campus does not participate in Community Pantry Days.
