Kelly's Food Pantry is open 5 days a week: Tues - Friday from 9am - 2pm and Saturdays from 9am - noon, providing emergency or supplemental food to low income individuals and families across El Paso County, Texas. We currently serve approximately 700 clients per day.
We LOVE fresh fruits and vegetables and would love to be able to share your harvest with our clients!
Please contact us if a donation on Monday is more convenient. While our pantry is closed on Mondays we could schedule an appointment to accept donations.
Feel free to call us if you have any questions: (915) 261-7499. It may be most convenient for you to unload by our warehouse doors adjacent to our outdoor food pantry distribution line.
ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
