As an ice storm approaches, a familiar question is circulating across Benbrook. Is there anywhere to grab a few groceries before the roads and temperatures turn?

The good news is yes. Several nearby churches and community organizations are offering food pantry services, though availability can change quickly during weather events. If you are planning to go, arriving early is wise.

Here are local options serving Benbrook and surrounding neighborhoods:

The Altamesa Church of Christ operates a food pantry at 4600 Alta Mesa Blvd in Fort Worth. Distribution hours are Tuesday and Saturday from 8:30 to 11:30 AM. More details are available at https://altamesa.org or by calling 817-370-8601.

The Manna Joseph Storehouse is located at 10180 Rolling Hills Dr in Benbrook and offers food distribution on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 12:00 to 4:00 PM. For information, call 817-885-8508.

The Western Hills Church of Christ hosts a food pantry at 8800 Chapin Rd in Fort Worth. Pantry hours are Thursday from 3:00 to 6:00 PM, with clients able to visit once per calendar month. The church can be reached at 817-244-0132.

The Restoration Center at 3448 Williams Rd in Benbrook distributes food Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM.

There is also a mobile pantry through the Restoration Center Mobile, located at 3100 Las Vegas Trail in Fort Worth, available on the first Saturday of each month from 12:00 to 2:00 PM.

Some residents have also mentioned that the Benbrook Public Library and the YMCA have food pantries, though at this late hour, supplies may already be limited.

Alongside organized pantries, neighbors are stepping up. One local resident shared that they have extra crackers from the holidays, frozen chicken wings, and frozen fried rice available to anyone who needs it. It is a reminder that sometimes the fastest help comes from just down the street.

If you or someone you know could use a little extra support before the weather hits, these resources and acts of kindness may help bridge the gap. In moments like this, Benbrook shows what it means to look out for one another.
