What to expect when you visit a food pantry:

• Food provided at no cost to you.
• At each pantry you visit, you will be asked to complete a short intake form which asks basic personal and demographic information (name, address, number of people residing with you, income, date of birth, etc.) which will be kept private and confidential. 
• If you can, bring proof of where you live (driver’s license, utility bill, water bill, lease agreement, etc.). 
• You are not required to bring proof of income or citizenship.
• You are not required to participate in a religious event, or pay dues as a condition of receiving food.
• You are not to be refused service or discriminated against based on your race, color, age, religion, national origin, disability, gender, sexual orientation or political affiliation.
• You are to be treated with respect and dignity at all times.

You are allowed to visit each pantry in your service area at least once a month.

If there are no pantries open that serve your area, or if you have questions about the information provided,                       please call 2-1-1.

Home Delivery services for those that qualify:

Project GotEM (Going the Extra Mile) is a home delivery service of weekly (bi-weekly or monthly, depending on client needs) boxes that are filled with nutritious, shelf-stable food (approximately 30 lbs.) to our neighbors in need through March 2023.

Project GotEM is a partnership between BVFB and the cities of Bryan and College Station as a pilot program for residents of Bryan/College Station who have food access issues and have been impacted by COVID in some way.

COVID impact can look like a few things:

• Loss of job or hours cut
• Loss of childcare
• Caring for someone or yourself who has been sick with COVID
• Disability or mobility issues

Lack of access can look like:

• Lack of transportation
• Work during the hours food pantries are open
• Distance to local food pantries                                          

Questions? Please call BVFB at 979-779-3663 and ask to speak to a Project GotEM staff member

To apply for Project GotEM deliveries please fill out this form.  

*Participation in Project GotEM is on a first come- first served basis*
