About Us
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.
Empowering Communities Through Food
We envision a future where fresh, healthy food is accessible to all. Through local partnerships, we strengthen community ties and promote wellness.
Food is more than nourishment — it's a connection. We believe in building a food system that supports people and the planet.
Sustainability, Equity, and Community
We are committed to supporting local growers, reducing waste, and protecting natural resources through sustainable practices.
Our work centers on equity and inclusion, ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table and access to the food they deserve.
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.
