Food Shuttle

“[F]or I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….”  Matthew 25:35

About Us

The St. Gabriel’s Food Shuttle Ministry provides a food rescue service for the needy of McKinney.  To accomplish this mission, our team provides an organizational structure to collect surplus baked goods and other foodstuffs from local restaurants for distribution.  Our volunteer drivers are dispatched daily (except Sundays) to pick up surplus prepared restaurant food for delivery to various community groups, including the Samaritan Inn, Old Settler’s Recreation Center (after-school and summer programs), and the Boys & Girls Club in McKinney.  Thanks to our dedicated drivers, St. Gabriel’s Food Shuttle has collected and distributed tons of food to the needy since 1998. 

All You Need To Be A Driver or Substitute Driver

• one hour per week during the day
• a vehicle (it does not have to be a large SUV),
• a driver’s license and safe driving skills,
• a little instruction about food care, and
• a willingness to help the many children and their families who could use a treat to supplement their meal or snack time. 

If you wonder if this activity is worth the effort, your answer will come as you watch the faces of recipients light up with smiles when you carry in food that you collected less than fifteen minutes earlier.  Please join us!
