How HelpByState works
A listing goes up only after its phone and its address or hours match the organization's own page, or an official list.
Each card shows the day we checked it. If sources disagree, we say call first instead of guessing.
See something wrong, or know a place we missed? Send it in. Nothing changes until we have checked it.

Church and community pantries often change days, move, or close for a holiday. When the sources we checked disagree, or an organization does not publish its hours, we say so instead of guessing. A quick call saves a trip.

From each organization's own website or page, official sources such as housing authority and WIC clinic lists, and the public Find Food map of the Food Bank of West Central Texas pantry lists (January and February 2026). We list the source on every card.
If you run a pantry or program, or you saw a listing that is wrong, tell us. We check every message against the organization's own page before anything changes.
