Schulenburg Area Food Pantry History

Food Pantry loosely organized in the early 1990s at the Merida Youth Ceter. Gloria Watson had the idea to have a city wide Food Bank in about 1994 but ran into roadblocks due to lacking an organization with a tax exempt status. She went to the Ministerial Alliance for help. Rev. Stafford of St. James Church, Rev. Roberson of the Methodist Church and Rev. Gresham of the Baptist Church completed the necessary paperwork for the Capital Area Food Bank to start the Schulenburg Food Bank in 1996.

The original board consisted of the 3 ministers and 4 lay people. They were Cleo Greenwood, Herb Rode, Tom Bargas and Ronnie Herzik. They werre organized under the 501 c 3 status of the Methodist church. As preachers rotated to other churches, the incoming ministers didn’t replace the existing ones. Citizens took their places.

We received our independent 501 c 3 designation in 2005 and changed the name to the Schulenburg Area Food Pantry.

The original pantry operated out of an 80 sq. ft. storeroom in the back of the Bigham Law Firm (donut shop) and served off of a folding table on a dirt floor in an open air screened in porch. With the city’s helpin 2004, we moved indoors at the Civic Center with about 140 sq. ft. About a year later, we had to extend our space in the Civic Center to 326 sq. ft.
