- Looking for immediate food assistance?
  We have a Little Free Pantry on our church property at 110 St. Gabriel Way McKinney, TX 75454. The pantry provides immediate, emergency assistance with basic food and some household items on a 24/7 “take what you need” basis. Patrons can also find information on additional parish and community services. Unlike local food pantries with pickup hours and paperwork, our pantry makes it easy for people to get what they need when they need it without questions or embarrassment.
  
  LOCATION: The pantry can be found under the covered, wrap-around archway porch of the Community Center. (Next to the St. Gabriel statue courtyard).
