Buffalo County free food pantries.

Struggling families in Buffalo County have several pantries to turn to for assistance. The centers will provide clients with a free box of groceries and other support, such as clothing or hygiene items. Another major focus is on offering intake sites for SNAP food stamp benefits that are needed by Kearney Nebraska families living in poverty.

The listing below contains information on both of the resources that are available. Several of them will only process applications to public benefits, such as food stamps or they may offer USDA commodities for children that participate in Head Start. But there are also charity run soup kitchens and food banks in the county, and these locations serve hot meals, offer baby formula and more.

Buffalo County food pantries may of course offer groceries, but they try to provide much more. Depending on the location there may be holiday meals or Christmas presents, soap and shampoo, toys, school supplies and more. This will depend on donation levels.
