We are here to help

If you are a Neighbor in need, we are here to help you out in times of hardship and to rejoice with you in times of success.

 

Waxahachie CARE is a select choice food pantry which allows our Neighbors to choose what best fits their needs while providing curbside service.

​

The food pantry serves Ellis County residents (with exception of Midlothian & Ennis; please visit their food pantries if you live in these areas) by following TEFAP & TEXCAP guidelines for low income.  Selection and quantities are determined by how much food we receive from our donors each day.

 

Our Ellis County Neighbors can also apply for assistance with utility bills.
