Tips for using the Drive-Thru Mobile Food Distribution:

• Drive-Thru Pantry is first come, first served.
• 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, unless you live in Student Housing.
• Drive-Thru Pantry participants are required to share their family size to receive food. No proof is necessary; the process is a self-declaration.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

We are excited to provide additional support through the SNAP program. SNAP provides nutrition benefits to supplement the food budget of needy families so they can purchase healthy food and move towards self-sufficiency.

The Social Services Assistance (SSA) Team of the North Texas Food Bank, NTFB, is a Community Partner with Collin College building a bridge between Health and Human Services (HHSC) and communities in our service area to provide access to food, cash, and healthcare assistance. While the SSA Team assists with the application process, they do not determine eligibility. HHSC processes the applications, determines eligibility, and has up to 30 days to process your SNAP application.

If you would like to apply for the following assistant programs, please fill out the SNAP Application Form.

• TANF
• CHIP, CHIP Perinatal & Medicaid
