- Our mission is to serve residents of Whitley County. We request some evidence of their residency, any type of ID, or even a lease, utility bill with their name and address on it. Whitley County is where the majority of our donations come from, there are many other food pantries in other counties to serve those residents. check link below.
- Folks are eligible to come twice per month to receive food. Wednesdays and Fridays, 12 til 2pm.
- If folks are interested in the voucher program (Wednesdays 4-6pm) they can receive one voucher authorization per month.
- Folks can choose to receive food, a voucher, or both.
If you have any other questions, you can email us at the church. Or you can call the church office, 260-244-7118 and leave a message on ext. 4. We will get back to you that same day.
