HIM Food Bank serves families in Tarrant and Johnson Counties. Dallas County residents (including Grand Prairie) are not currently served at this location, but staff can refer you to a nearby pantry within your zip code.
This is not a walk-in pantry. Every visit requires an appointment, and you'll need to complete an application before your first pickup.
Bring these when you come for your first visit:
Clients receive a food card that is good for one year. After a year, you can reapply.
Orders must be placed at least 3 days before your scheduled pickup. You can only place one order at a time through the online market, and your order won't be fulfilled if you choose more than one item. Staff say they'll accommodate larger families. Some products are donated and accepted in "as is" condition, so contents vary based on current donations.
Each appointment provides a prepared grocery basket that may include meats, fresh produce, canned goods, breads, beverages, and other essential items. Reviewers mention receiving fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, dairy like milk, canned goods, bread, frozen food, desserts, snacks, coffee, and occasionally flowers or holiday gift items as a special surprise. The pantry aims to provide healthy, quality groceries.
The food bank also operates a small store open to the public that sells essential household, cleaning, and hygiene items at about 50% of retail prices. These items are also available at no cost for those who can't afford them.
After placing your order through the Mustard Seed Market online, you'll receive a confirmation email with your appointment date and time. All grocery pickups are by appointment only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
HIM Food Bank welcomes donations of food and money. You can donate online through PayPal or shop their Amazon wishlist. The pantry's most needed items include peanut butter, cereal, canned chicken, canned tuna, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, canned vegetables, and canned fruits.
They accept dry, shelf-stable, refrigerated, and frozen food items, prepared foods, personal care products, and cleaning supplies. Food donation drop-offs are accepted Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm at 150 S 6th Ave, Mansfield, TX 76063. For large donation loads, pickup can be arranged.
