Desoto County emergency food pantries

Low to moderate income families in Desoto County can turn to a network of free food bank and pantries for assistance. There are a number of charities that distribute items to the needy. There is help for families facing an emergency as well as longer term food assistance programs for people in poverty.

When applying, income conditions are in place, and each pantry will only have a limited number of goods. What residents may find from a local church or non-profit in Desoto County includes free boxes of food, clothing, Christmas meals, and more.
