Friends For All

Who Can Visit?

Friends For All Memphis offers food pantry services to all members of the Mid-South community. First-time visitors can walk in Monday through Thursday between 8:30 am and 3:00 pm, head to the front desk, and ask a client care specialist about accessing the pantry. The EIS team will get you into their system and connect you to services right away.

Items Needed for Registration

When you come in for the first time, bring a photo ID. If you have a Ryan White card, bring that too, though it's not required.

How Often You Can Visit?

The food pantry provides monthly food bags, so clients can receive their pantry bag once a month.

Good to Know

The pantry offers a variety of fresh, nutritious foods that change regularly based on donations from local vendors, so what's available may be different each time. If you can't make it in person, you can request food delivery by filling out the Food Delivery Form on their website.

Food & Essentials

Friends For All provides monthly bags filled with fresh, nutritious foods sourced from local vendors. The selection changes regularly depending on donations.
