The Food Bank of Northern Indiana offers a mobile food pantry once a month in Marshall and Starke counties. Fresh perishable items such as dairy, grains, produce and protein along with dry goods are offered free of charge to northern Indiana residents. The Food Bank sets up tables where people can “shop” and select items that best meet their needs. The mobile food pantries are first come, first served for those in need of food assistance, based on available product, while supplies last. Patrons are asked to bring bags or boxes to transport their items home.
The February schedule includes:
Tuesday, February 16th from 10 a.m. – Noon, at the New Song Church located at 410 Kingston Road in Plymouth and on Tuesday, February 23rd from 10 a.m. – Noon, CST at the Knox United Methodist Church located at 201 South Shield Street in Knox.
The Food Bank of Northern Indiana works in partnership to feed the hungry, increase awareness of the effects of hunger and leads programs designed to alleviate hunger. The Food Bank of Northern Indiana serves Elkhart, Kosciusko, LaPorte, Marshall, Starke and St. Joseph Counties and is a member of Feeding America, Feeding Indiana’s Hungry (FIsH) and United Way.
