Catholic Charities of Dallas and the Methodist Church’s both have heavily stocked pantries and numerous distribution centers in this area. They have been a god send for some close to me. The Dallas catholic apparently has some large long term financial donors that keep it operating well.

Edit. I just read above at the religion bashing. Denton has food banks that are not church associated. I’m just not as familiar with them. There are plenty of religious democratic members so I never follow this logic.
