Wesley Church Food Pantry

How do we serve

We are a distribution site for the Coastal Bend Food Bank.  Using grant money from charitable organizations and donations from members and nonmembers we purchase food from the Food Bank.  The food is distributed in the fellowship hall, but lines form in the parking lot.

Whom do we serve

We serve individuals and households who reside in the 78411 and 78415 Zip Codes.  The Food Bank now requires us to use their standard application process.  We request the applicant's name, address, number in household, and whether anyone in the household receives other aid such as food stamps, free school meals, or Medicaid.  We sometimes need to ask monthly income if another benefit does not automatically qualify the applicant.  We also ask for information on age groups and ethnicity. Every new applicant will receive a bag regardless of their home zip code.  We will serve homeless persons.

How often do we serve

Generally we limit our clients to one bag of food per month.  However, we distribute free food such as bread, pastries, and other items every Tuesday and Wednesday of each week from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.  Clients both in our service area and out of area my come weekly for the free items.

Verification of Zip Codes

Clients may certainly prove their residence in the two zip codes we serve with an ID card such as a drivers license.  However, they may also submit a utility bill, insurance card, or any official correspondence showing their address.  Verification need only be done once.  First time clients lacking proof of address will be served, but requested to bring verification if they return next month. We will serve homeless clients.

Volunteers staff the food pantry

Everyone who works at the Wesley United Methodist Church Food Pantry is an unpaid volunteer with the exception of Pastor Joseph Tobias.  There is a team inside preparing the bags that other workers distribute.  The Photo Gallery which follows shows some of these servants.

Non-Discrimination Statement

Poster Required by the USDA

A poster with the title "AND JUSTICE FOR ALL"  which has information in English and in Spanish is required to be displayed by every contracting entity under the USDA.  Our poster is displayed inside the the Food Pantry office and may be viewed upon request.  Because of COVID most of our interactions with our clients occur outdoors.  Click the button below to view an online version of the poster.
