Ballard’s Food and Clothing Pantry

About Pantry Services

Ballard’s Pantry services are FREE and available to anyone and everyone.

When crisis hits, it’s hard to move forward without the necessities. Our pantry exists entirely through donations from heroes in our community.

Our shelter is able to offer clothing, shoes, work attire, food, and diapers made to anyone in need. Students, elderly, families or any individual is welcome!

While using the pantry, shoppers can get other assistance as well. Ballard’s Community Services include rent & utility assistance, resource navigation, and supports for Spanish-speaking community members in a safe and welcoming environment.

We never know when catastrophe can strike, and Ballard wants to help our clients through it from beginning to end.

What We Provide

Clothing

Our pantry offers clothing, undergarments, socks, shoes, coats, jackets, and accessories all year round for men, women, and children. We also have all sizes of diapers and many personal care items, such as laundry detergent, shampoo and conditioner, toothbrushes, deodorant, and more. If you don't see what you need, please ask.

Household Basics

We have a variety of basic household items available by request, including pots and pans, small appliances, dishes and glasses, kitchen utensils, sheet sets, towels, and more. Inventory is variable; be sure to ask for anything you need.

Food

We do our best to keep non-perishable food items readily available in our on-site pantry. Ballard also sponsors a mobile food distribution at the Douglas County Fairgrounds main arena on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. Please check this website for the schedule, as exact dates can vary occasionally due to scheduling conflicts.

Produce & Perishable Goods

Through our partnerships and programs, we are able to offer a limited selection of perishable goods including milk, eggs, produce, and more. Access to healthy food in times of crisis is a gamechanger for many of our clients.
