Food Assistance




Individuals visiting our Food Pantry experience a self-choice operation arranged like a grocery store. Each person selects the items they prefer with quantities based on family size and available stock. Case Managers may provide one or more vouchers (each voucher is for one pantry visit) based on need.

Because we receive donations from several area stores, the North Texas Food Bank, and individual donors, as well as fresh seasonal produce from area gardens such as Coppell Community Garden, our stock varies from week to week. Items generally available include:

Volunteers assist clients through the pantry.

The Food Pantry is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with final appointments at 4:00 p.m., and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with final appointments at 12:30 p.m.

For details on obtaining food, call 972-446-2100 or ask Case Manager.

WIC IN TEXAS (food)


In the state of Texas, citizens and legal residents living in low income households may be eligible to receive food stamps, a government food assistance program. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP or food stamps, helps millions of Americans purchase groceries that they may not have been able to afford otherwise.  

SNAP for Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) is a government sponsored program that provides healthy foods for at-risk families. WIC benefits are given based upon financial need, and allow women who are pregnant or have recently given birth to purchase nutritious foods for themselves and their children under the age of five. New mothers and small children who do not have regular access to healthy, nutritious foods may be at high risk for malnutrition and other nutrition-related conditions. WIC SNAP is meant to protect the health of mothers, infants, and children who are considered at-risk for malnutrition by providing education and free food benefits. The WIC application is filled out during a mandatory preliminary medical appointment at a WIC clinic. The purpose of the doctor’s appointment is for a trained medical professional to evaluate the applicant and determine if she and her child are at-risk for malnutrition related health conditions.

Headquartered in Lewisville, CCA is one of the largest private nonprofits in North Texas, providing more than 10,000 individual services each year.
