During the month of May 2025, families that find themselves in need in Texas can receive free groceries at food distribution events in select cities. Organizations such as the North Texas Food Bank, Catholic Charities Dallas, and the Tarrant Area Food Bank offer help through food distribution services which do not require proof of income or pre-registration.

The food is being handed out via a drive-thru manner, where families can get essentials without having to exit their vehicle. All you will have to do is inform your name, household size, and ZIP code at the location you choose to receive help.

How the Free Food distribution system works in Texas?

It’s a very straightforward process to access food assistance and there is no required documentation. Recipients just need to arrive at a distribution point in their vehicle and provide three pieces of information; full name, number of members in the household and their ZIP Code.

The drive-thru service simplifies distribution and removes paperwork. This is all thanks to food banks, churches, and community centers that have been servicing Texans for many years.
