Connections

 We are thankful for the on-going partnerships and collaboration with the Hoosier Hills Food Bank in Bloomington. They are a major supplier of the food that we distribute.

We are grateful for the ongoing support of Midwest Food Bank which supplies us with thousands of pounds of free food every month.

 We are grateful to the St. Agnes Catholic Church and parishioners who compose our core group of volunteers. 

We thank the Brown County Community Foundation for their many years of support to us and to so many organizations in Brown County. With the help of the foundation's generous grants in 2020, we purchased a walk-in cooler/freezer and a refrigerator truck. Both have been put to great use in procuring and storing food for distribution at our pantry and at numerous pop-up pantries held at locations throughout the county. The foundation is also a regular and major supporter of our annual Back to School program.

We are also thankful to receive support from area churches especially Church of the Lakes, Nashville United Methodist Church, Nashville Christian, Parkview Church of the Nazarene, Becks Grove Christian and Christiansburg United Methodist. Special seasonal donations have been made by St. Barnabas Catholic Church, Indianapolis, St. Rose of Lima in Franklin, Indiana and St. David's Episcopal in Bean Blossom, Indiana.

We also acknowledge on-going partnerships and collaboration with CYO Camp Rancho Framasa, Christ Church Cathedral Strawberry Festival, Jay C Food Store in Columbus, Sisters of the Holy Cross in Notre Dame, South Central Community Against Poverty, South Central Indiana REMC Operation Round-Up, Meijer in Greenwood, CVS in Nashville, Walgreen's in Franklin, and Purdue University Extension in Brown County, Thank you all.
