We are here to help

If you are a neighbor in need, we are here to help. We strive to be the neighbor who helps you out in times of need and rejoices with you in times of success.

 

Waxahachie CARE has a goal to become a select choice food pantry which allows our neighbors to choose what best fits their needs while providing curbside service.

​

  • Quantities are determined by how much food we receive from our donors each day.

 

The food pantry serves those in need throughout Ellis County (with exception of Midlothian & Ennis, please visit their food pantries if you live in these areas) by following TEFAP & TEXCAP guidelines for low income.

 

Anyone in Ellis county can apply for assistance with Reliant Energy and Atmos Gas.
