Denton Freedom House Freedom Food Pantry - Denton, Texas

An incredible blessing- staff that’s both helpful and humorous, making low circumstances feel uplifting and welcoming in a way I’d never seen before from other pantries. Selection is extremely wide with a ton of options and they’re VERY generous for how much they give you. Hopefully I won’t need to come back too often if things pick up in the future, but when I do, I know I’ll be VERY well taken-care of.

I was in a pickle and needed groceries for one night, yep, just one night. The amount given turned into three! Caring folks, Thank You.

This is a Christian-based food pantry (I don't know what church or business they are affiliated with, if any). The location is very modest and nondescript, located toward the back of the parking lot off of 377 on the east side.
Simply walk in and fill out a ticket stating how many people are in your household and if any of them are children. Walk up to the food area and hand it to a volunteer and they will give you a bag or box with enough food for three meals (one day) and usually a desert or something extra, but that depends on availability each day. I've volunteered here several times, and the type of food varies a lot, depending on what people and/or businesses donated that day. The one that is pretty consistent is Pizza Hut - they've provide pizzas every time I've been up there (thanks, Pizza Hut!). One thing to note is you don't pick out your items, the box is filled for you based on a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Please let someone know if there is some special dietary need (diabetes, etc) and the staff will do their best to pick appropriate selections. Just remember, supplies are very limited and there are no guarantees. There are some items, usually breads and certain produce, out in the main area that you have can choose from yourself as well.

I don't know much about The Shepherd's Hand's background or affiliations, but the employees and other volunteers always pleasant and great to work with. They expect very little and give a lot. This is a rare combination and they deserve a solid five stars for the service they provide.

They were closed when I went by there.... Seems they have a lot of goodies to offer. ?

While we're grateful for what we get and I realize beggars can't be choosers...this pantry nearly always hands out rotten produce and mouldy bread. Half of what we get goes in the trash as soon as I get it home. The last time we went the food was infested with weevils and what little food I had at home became infested and had to be thrown out which ultimately left us worse off. We may be poor but I feel like we deserve better than rotten food infested with critters. Also, the line is super dangerous the way they have it set up. I had to circle the building back and forth across that busy highway six times before I could safely enter the line and was nearly hit at least three times. The staff are nice though.

These people are so great. I took my mom for the first time and she was able to get food that she can eat with her medical condition. I am so thankful for these volunteers and everyone’s generosity. They were such a blessing to my mother. They treated my mother so kindly and I greatly appreciate everything they do!

This is an awesome resource for families or individuals in need of some decent food that is edible and honestly pretty surprisingly good or being FREE. They will accommodate you based off your circumstances so that you get items that will work for you if you do not have refrigeration or cooking supplies. Everything from fruits and vegetables to meat and dessert, they will get you taken care of. The staff is very welcoming and make the experience that much better. Thank you! If you've never been to a place like this like me, this is so easy and comfortable I regret not having visited before. Thanks again, God bless!!
