Terry's Tables Food Pantry

Who Can Visit?

Terry's Tables Food Pantry is open to anyone in Montgomery County who needs help with groceries. The pantry calls itself "a place for everyone," and no specific income limit or eligibility test is listed. Just show up during distribution hours and you'll be welcomed.

Good to Know

Many visitors arrive well before the 9am start time to get a numbered place in line. Numbers are given out when you arrive, and food is distributed in that order. Reviewers describe the food as delicious, high quality, and plentiful. The pantry provides groceries to about 3,000 people in the community each month.

Food & Essentials

Terry's Tables provides groceries to households in need through a long-standing partnership with the Montgomery County Food Bank. The pantry has been able to purchase food at 16 cents per pound, which makes each donation go far. Senior Grocery Boxes are also available for older adults.

How to Pick Up

When you arrive, you'll receive a numbered ticket. Visitors are served in number order throughout the distribution window.
