In partnership with The San Antonio Food Bank, we’re excited to offer an Open Pantry experience that gives families the dignity of choice. Eligible families can now browse shelves and select the groceries and essentials that best meet their needs. Pre-packed boxes are still available for those who prefer convenience.

We need help once a month— every 2nd (sometimes 3rd) Thursdays—with preparing the pantry space, assisting shoppers, managing flow, and cleaning up. The Open Pantry is held in our headquarters on the Omega Retreat Center property (look for the building with the blue, yellow, and red doors!). Most jobs will require some lifting—up to 25 lbs.

Please help us serve our neighbors with dignity and care!
