Panhandle People's Pantry
The Panhandle People's Pantry, founded in 2025, is a community-led food co-op ensuring access to fresh, nutritious food through local partnerships.
We believe healthy food is a right. Our mission is to connect communities with quality ingredients and promote sustainable, ethical food access.
Local Sourcing
We prioritize locally sourced food by partnering with regional farmers and suppliers to ensure fresh, seasonal ingredients while supporting our local economy.
Sourcing locally reduces our carbon footprint, promotes sustainable farming, and strengthens community connections, ensuring better food for everyone.
Sustainable Practices
We are committed to sustainability by sourcing responsibly, minimizing waste, and prioritizing eco-friendly practices in every step of our food journey.
From local partnerships to composting and reusable packaging, we strive to reduce our impact and create a more sustainable future for our community.

Members enjoy exclusive benefits, such as voting rights, special events, and the opportunity to shape the future of our food system.
Community Involvement
We believe in the power of community. Through outreach programs, volunteer opportunities, and direct action, we work together to address food insecurity and support local initiatives.
By engaging with our neighbors and fostering collaboration, we strive to create a stronger, more connected community where everyone has access to healthy food.
Food Is A Human Right
Our mission is clear: to make nutritious food accessible and affordable for everyone. We believe that access to healthy food is a fundamental human right—not a privilege.
Join us in building a sustainable future where everyone has access to fresh, affordable, and nourishing food.
