Ballard Pantry charges nothing for the services it offers. We exist entirely through donations and grants. The wealth of goods offered to individuals and families in crisis each day is obtainable free of charge. We are unique in Lawrence in the quality and variety of clothing, shoes, kitchen and household items made available to anyone in need.
There is a wide variety of programs and services available to those in crisis, helping to serve our mission of stabilizing families. We recognize that many of the residents of Lawrence and Douglas County are one problem away from devastation. Ballard Pantry wants to help those who are struggling, to see them through a crisis. Ballard Pantry wants to offer a reason to hope for those who have no hope.
To this end, we offer a variety of programs and services.
