WHY MONTHLY
Hunger doesn't take a month off. Neither do we.
Plan, not scramble
Hunger doesn't take a month off. Neither should the help. Your monthly giving provides the dependable support we need to plan food orders, schedule distributions, and staff the pantry with confidence - so we can focus less on scrambling and more on serving our neighbors.
Make our new home go further.
In September 2025, we moved into our new 6,000-square-foot facility, creating room to grow and serve more neighbors. Your monthly commitment helps us finish building out this space and turn its potential into greater impact for the families who count on us.
Keep up with growing need.
More neighbors are turning to N3 for help. Your support as a Monthly Patron helps us keep pace with that growing need, providing the steady resources we need to get food into the hands of more families across our multi-county service area.

OUR STORY
A fire took our building.
It didn't change our mission.
Neighbors have been feeding neighbors through our programs since the 1980s. That initial grassroots effort grew into Neighbors Nourishing Neighbors (N3), incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on September 12, 2012.
Today, N3 serves families across Celina, Prosper, and surrounding communities in Collin, Denton, and Grayson counties. As our region grows, so does the need for reliable access to nutritious food.
On January 18, 2025, a two-alarm fire destroyed our pantry building and nearly all our supplies. Just one week later, we were distributing food again from the Town of Prosper's parking lot. Our community rallied, and we kept showing up for our neighbors.
After months of serving from a mobile pantry and shipping containers, we moved into our new 6,000-square-foot home in Celina on September 22, 2025. This new space gives us room to grow our capacity to serve more neighbors facing hunger.
Now, we're building the next 15 years together. With 1,500 Monthly Patrons giving $15 a month, we can strengthen the dependable support that keeps food moving, helps us make the most of our new home, and sustains our mission for years to come.
"We believe in preserving life, not lifestyle."
Become an N3 Pantry Patron
Choose a monthly amount. Every Patron counts toward 1,500 by our 15th anniversary on September 12, 2027.
Your $15 works alongside a whole community
Feeding our neighbors takes all of us. About 20% of the food we distribute comes from the North Texas Food Bank, while the rest comes from generous retail partners, churches, schools, food drives, and neighbors like you.
Your monthly gift helps make it all possible by covering the essential costs that donated food can't - refrigeration, fuel, equipment, and the build-out of our new home. Together, we're doing more than keeping shelves full. We're making sure food gets where it's needed most.
