Your Right to Receive Food

When you receive food from a Food Bank partner, you have the right to:

  • Receive food at no cost
  • Never be required to attend religious services or pay fees
  • Never be refused food based on who you are or what you believe
  • Be treated with respect and dignity at all times
  • Not be required to show ID, proof of income or citizenship

If you feel your rights have been violated, please contact us at 512-282-2111.

What to Expect When Visiting a Food Pantry or Distribution Site

When you arrive at a pantry or distribution site, you may be asked to fill out a short form confirming that you live in the area and need food assistance. Bring a food cart or reusable bags to carry items home, as assistance may be limited.

Before heading out, check for weather or holiday closures by calling 512-684-2559.
