Emergency Services

if you are in need of food or financial assistance, Catholic Charities is here to help.
Catholic Charities provides food assistance at multiple locations in the Greater Memphis area. We also have a network of partners across West Tennessee for your convenience. Our goal is to ensure that no one goes hungry.

Foodbox Locations

One way you may receive food assistance is by visiting one of our drive through mobile pantries. The pantries offer a no contact distribution from your vehicle. Please bring a copy of your ID and proof of residence (i.e., a piece of mail with your name and address) for this service. See below for drive through pantry locations and times:

Meal Bag Locations

If you are not driving and visiting one of our locations by foot or bus, we offer daily meal bags that include approximately three small meals. Although we do not require ID or proof of residence for this service, please bring them if you would like to speak about other services offered by Catholic Charities (i.e., housing, family programs, jobs).
