For over 40 years, the Greenhouse/Key Care Mission, now rebranded as MARKET DEPOT food pantry has served homeless and underserved “neighbors” with food at no cost. No appointment is needed, only an ID for each family member. Located at 619 E. Houston in Sherman, The MARKET DEPOT is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1-4 pm. In 2019 the MARKET DEPOT provided over 163,000 pounds of food and 31,000 household items to some 9,200 individuals. The MARKET DEPOT program continues to grow throughout the county. It currently requires approximately 30 regular weekly volunteers. Because of the efficiencies of the volunteer program coordinators, procedures are streamlined and distribution time is reduced.
