The Pantry has received many blessings the past few weeks. We were the recipient of a very generous check from the Blue Gold Gala organized by the Fairfield High School Alumni Association. We also benefitted from the New Paris Cookie Walk donation.

This is the 25th year of operation for the Pantry. The last 10 years as a nonprofit. We would not have been able to help meet the needs of our community over these past years without the support of the community. Please know we appreciate all the donations and help you all have provided us through the years.

We gave 50 turkeys and 6 hams to our families at the Pantry on Friday.

BIG Thanks to KMC Controls in New Paris for their annual Thanksgiving food drive. They added something special this year, a Birthday box containing cake mix, frosting, candles. Our families will love having this option available to them.

Wow...a whopping 85% increase in shoppers this week.

We have also signed with a 4th resource for food, Gymtown Food Bank in Elkhart. This new food bank is only for Elkhart County food pantries. We also have access to Northern Indiana Food Bank in South Bend, Milford Food Bank, and Cultivate Rescue in Elkhart. We use them to supplement the donations we receive and items we purchase weekly.

Thanks to all who help us meet the needs of the community.

We were curious to see how the SNAP (food stamps) freeze would effect our numbers at the Pantry. Yesterday we had a 40 % increase in the number of families shopping at the Pantry.

Fortunately, we recently benefited from 2 community food drives.
BIG thanks to New Paris Missionary Church and New Paris and Millersburg Interra. Our white drop off box has often been filled to the brim with needed items. Thanks to all who have helped us meet the increase in need.
