The Highland Food Pantry on Walnut

In order to assist more and Abilene families, we are open this morning during this AISD Student break from 9:30 am to 11:45 am. Call 325-673-1234 for more information.

Several of the Highland Food Pantry volunteers have asked what they can do to help upon the pending SNAP food crisis. It was suggested to remain open during most of the AISD Student holidays. Thus, with overwhelming response from several volunteers, the Highland Food Pantry will be OPEN for regular hours on Friday, October 31, 2025 from 9:30 am to 11:45 am. Remaining open during these times will depend on having sufficient trained volunteers. Thank you! ❤️

This!! Message us or email [email protected] if you want to help.

Thank you to this Highland Small Group, who has scheduled a monthly volunteer time at the Pantry. This month along with filling up our bulk food bins, this group assisted by creating some 5-Bean Soup Packets. The Pantry is able to receive all types of free dry beans (lentils, red beans, pinto, white or black beans) from the West Central Texas Food Bank, but often our clients struggle with how to cook these unfamiliar types of foods. Each 5-Bean Soup packet contains 5 different types of beans, plus a small container with all the spices to make the soup. We also add the recipe to make it easier for clients to prepare!

Fall Break-Part 1: We are so thankful to for taking time during their fall break to volunteer at the Highland Food Pantry by helping get the warehouse ready for Highland Sack Sunday and to restock the shelves. Since many of our regular volunteers are over ____, it’s nice to get these young, strong college students to lift and move those heavy cases of canned goods!

Thank you to the Westgate CofC for coming out to the Highland Pantry during their WATS (We Are The Sermon) Day and helping to restock and get the warehouse ready for Sack Sunday!
