Proudly Serving Austin with a Drive-Thru Pantry Since 2020
Since getting started in 2020, Westover’s weekly Drive-Thru Food Pantry has provided essential groceries for over 70,000 Austin families. In 2025 alone, the pantry served over 13,000 families.
Distribution is on Saturday mornings from 9:00 to 11:00am in the Westover Hills Church of Christ parking lot. Many households are dependent on the weekly distribution and show up in the early morning to get their spot in line to ensure they receive food.
Each car receives a bag of fresh/perishable goods such as produce and a bag of nonperishables such as cans and dry goods. On the last Saturday of each month, each car also receives a package of diapers (if needed).
The Drive-Thru Food Pantry provides groceries for 260 - 300 households each Saturday and is completely run by volunteers, many of whom are not Westover churchgoers, but are members of the surrounding community. Serving with the food pantry is a great family activity or way for students to accumulate service experience. In addition to delivering groceries to cars, volunteers show up to sort food each week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Food and supplies are sourced from food and monetary donations, a weekly distribution from Central Texas Food Bank, and a weekly bulk purchase Westover makes from HEB.
