Dripping Springs Helping Hands Food Pantry will be closed the week of Thanksgiving (November 24–28). We’re grateful for our incredible volunteers and want to give them the opportunity to rest and spend meaningful time with their families during the holidays.

If you need assistance, please visit us during pantry hours:
❤️ WEDNESDAYS - 1:00pm - 3:00pm
❤️ THURSDAYS - 4:30pm - 6:30pm
