Catholic Charities provides food assistance at multiple locations in the Greater Memphis area. We also have a network of partners outside of Shelby County. We have established additional service locations with plans to expand into more West Tennessee areas. Our goal is to ensure that no one goes hungry.
One way to receive food assistance is by visiting one of our convenient drive-thru mobile pantries, where food boxes are placed into cars, and drivers can stay in the comfort of their vehicles. Fresh produce, meats, breads, and dairy products are also distributed when available. Please bring a copy of your ID and proof of residence (i.e., a mail with your name/address) for this service. See below for locations and schedules.
If you are traveling by foot or bus and in need of food, we offer daily meal bags at two locations in Memphis. Our midtown location also offers hygiene kits, food and basic clothing essentials on Wednesday mornings. Although we do not require ID or proof of residence, please bring ID if you would like to speak with our staff about other services offered by Catholic Charities (Housing, family programs, employment).
This assistance is only available when grant funding is available. A link to the application will appear here at that time.
