About The Food Pantry
The Food Pantry at Cypress Assistance Ministries provides supplemental food assistance to neighbors in need, helping to reduce grocery costs and ease financial burdens for struggling families. We believe no one in our community should go hungry, and our programs are designed to provide both immediate relief and long-term support.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me…” — Matthew 25:35
Meeting unique needs with care and dignity
Special Programs At The Food Pantry

From monthly senior distributions to fresh market opportunities and compassion bags for the homeless, each program is designed to meet people where they are with hope and support.
