The City of Mineola is committed to supporting efforts that address food insecurity and provide vital resources to our residents. With 15.4% of our community living below the poverty line, ensuring access to nutritious food is a key priority.

The City is working alongside organizations such as the East Texas Food Bank and local food pantries to help connect residents with available resources, including:

  • Bread of Life Ministries

  • Kindness Kottage

  • Rosehill Food Pantry

  • Mineola High School Football Parking Lot (Mobile Pantry)

  • Mineola United Methodist Church (Senior Box)

Additionally, community programs such as the Kids Backpack Program, Summer Free Food Program, and Senior Box Program provide essential support for families and individuals. Residents can also seek assistance through the Benefits Assistance Program, which helps eligible individuals apply for services such as SNAP, Medicaid, and CHIP.

The City encourages residents to learn more about available food assistance programs and ways to get involved. For information on how to access services or volunteer, please visit https://www.easttexasfoodbank.org/programs/benefits-assistance/
