Helping Hands: Amazing Grace Food Pantry

The Start

Amazing Grace Food Pantry was founded in 2006 as an agency member of the North Texas Food Bank. Here, the organization began operating as a community outreach food pantry with an open-door policy so that no one in need would go hungry.

In 2016, with help from the community, Amazing Grace Food Pantry was able to start construction on a new facility. When the new facility opened in 2018, volunteers and those in need were met with more space, an indoor waiting area, restrooms, and a larger shopping area, all of which allow the organization to better serve its cause.

Distributing Food

Amazing Grace Food Pantry is located in Wylie, TX, just north of Dallas. The pantry serves all of Collin County, which is the sixth-most populated county in the state.

In 2020, the pantry served 7,784 people. The organization was also able to make 15,817 visits equating to 1,739,870 pounds of food distributed over the course of the year.
