Welcome to River Oaks Food Pantry

At the River Oaks Food Pantry, we believe kindness nourishes the soul before it nourishes the body. As a ministry of River Oaks United Methodist Church in partnership with Tarrant Area Food Bank, we stand with neighbors who face food insecurity offering assistance with respect, care, and human connection. Our faith is the basis of our service that centers on Matthew 25:35-40

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

You Are Our Neighbor

Our mission is rooted in empathy, recognizing that hunger doesn't discriminate and that help should feel safe and affirming. If you live in zip codes 76106, 76107, 76111, 76114, 76135, 76164, or 76179, we are here to serve you.
