Provisions is a nonprofit food pantry located in the Texas Hill Country, serving neighbors who are lacking life’s immediate necessities.
Our Mission: To assist individuals and families who are struggling to meet the basic needs of day-to-day living, and to improve their quality of life.
Our Purpose: To serve neighbors who are lacking life’s immediate necessities, and to provide assistance and guidance toward a better life.
Our Vision: To do much more than help people live day-to-day; to provide families and individuals with the tools and resources necessary to empower them to move toward more productive and responsible living.
We provide needy people with food, household necessities, clothing, and service referrals.

COVID-19 AND VOLUNTEERISM AT THE PANTRY:
We are blessed with loyal and enthusiastic volunteers who have served us faithfully throughout the pandemic! Currently, masks are optional for both volunteers and clients in the food pantry. Please understand that the decisions concerning mask wearing have been made with careful consideration of facts, as well as surveys of the wishes of the volunteer staff. If you are considering volunteering at Provisions, please know that you are welcome to do what is right for you concerning masks, and we ask that all volunteers be respectful of each other’s decisions and privacy.
We are in need of able-bodied, adult volunteers who are inclined to commit to a fairly regular schedule of attendance. All shifts as described below could use an extra person or two who are willing to come in on a regular basis.
Provisions is powered by Volunteers! We could not serve our mission without the help and support of a loving and enthusiastic volunteer staff. We always welcome new volunteers to help us on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Our volunteer needs vary in scope, and we welcome folks with all types of skills. If you are an English-Spanish bilingual speaker, that’s a definite bonus for us!

Age Requirements:
Our volunteer age requirements are as follows:
- Adults ages 18 and older: all are welcome
- Youth ages 16 and 17: all are welcome to volunteer after an initial visit here at the pantry accompanied by a parent or adult legal guardian.
- Youth ages 11 through 15: these youth are welcome to volunteer, but a parent or adult legal guardian must accompany them to the pantry and stay on property for the duration of the volunteer shift. The parent/guardian is welcome to participate in the volunteer activities, or may simply wait in the lobby-however they wish to spend the time.
- Children age 10 and younger: Due to the nature of our warehouse environment and the activities that occur throughout our hours of operation when we are serving our clients, we do not allow volunteers age 10 and younger.
