Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (3)
- $114,053 spent. The primary program of the organization is the food pantry. In 2025 God's Pantry served 2,653 unduplicated individuals and 1,012 unduplicated households tracked from October 1 through December 31 in a new system by Feeding American (North Texas Food Bank). This does not include individuals served at the Pantry prior to the implementation of the new tracking system. Additionally, as many as 1332 new individuals visited between January and August. Each housed visitor received 60 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, starches and dairy. Homeless clients received 15 pounds of nonperishable food that is easy to carry and manage on the go. One of the things that changed with the program in 2025 is clients were allowed to choose which type of meats and breads they want. Previously, meat and bread items were pre-packaged by volunteers and distributed. The government shutdown caused an increase in visitors for a period of time.
- Transitional Assistance is another program of God's Pantry that is fully donated. The pantry receives donations of gently used household items that is used to help homeless clients furnish their new housing to help defray funds that can be redirected to other needs.
- The pantry provides adult diapers to the elderly in need as well as pampers for parents with young children. The pampers are donated by a partner organization.
