Food for people, not for profit.
In November 2016, Cristo Rey of Hope opened the Food Pantry at a local church and served 15 families that month. Since then, we have outgrown the church and moved to our own location (2942 W Houston St, 78207) and we serve over 1000 families a month. We are a Client Choice Pantry where families get to “shop” and choose items that are the best fit for their family. We do not serve a specific area or zip code; if you come to our door in need, you WILL be served!
With the unprecedented effects of the recent pandemic Cristo Rey of Hope has seen a dramatic decrease in our canned food and monetary donations. When the stock at the San Antonio Food Bank runs low, we do not have access to obtain food from them for our Pantry. We are always accepting donations of shelf stable foods (canned goods including vegetables & fruit, rice, beans, breakfast items, etc…) as well as gift cards to H.E.B. and Wal-Mart. We are always in need of hygiene items. Any little bit goes a long way in helping make a difference in the lives of so many families within our community.
