Thanks to the hard working volunteers we have had all week, the only thing we have to do on Wednesday at the fairgrounds is be there for anybody dropping off donations. I will be at the fairgrounds Wed 11:30 - 5:30.
What do we still need?
Money for meat!
Turkeys
Mac N Cheese
Desserts ( cakes, pie filling pumpkin or fruit )
Cranberry sauce
Mushroom soup
Jiffy Cornbread mix or Biscuit mix
Yams
A few green beans
At this time, prepacked boxes will not have Yams, Cranberry Sauce, or dessert in them, as we just do not have enough. If you would like these items, please park and come inside to choose your food at your pick up time.
Donations can be made: pantry279.org/thanksgiving/contribute/donate-money
Or brought by or mailed to P.O. Box 312, Ellettsville, IN 47429

Great bunch of young people ♥️
Wonderful! 🤗
Hey All! Today, and honestly the rest of the week, we ask for patience. There are not a lot of us and both staff and volunteers are going way, way above and beyond working on Thanksgiving AND running pantry at the same time. These special programs, like Thanksgiving and ELF require an insane amount of extra work, planning, preparing, money, and physical labor. Most of the regulars put in over 12 hours a day, everyday. We are tired and very sore, so if things are taking a little longer, please understand. Our goal and desire is that everyone in need gets food and Thanksgiving, I feel we are all going for the same goal.

A thanksgiving meal which is paid for is so wonderful. We will eat at home. We will pray for all those who made this blessing possible. Our food is different. It comes directly from local friends and neighbors. Thanks to everyone involved.
You and your staff and volunteers are amazing !
You are doing great work! The community appreciates you. Prayers for strength and stamina!!!
Today a ton of work got done! My heart felt thanks and deep appreciation to all of the volunteers that came out and worked so hard. The families of Ellettsville Christian Church and the IU Student Athletic Board(pictured), and the individuals who just showed up and gave it their all. I hope you had fun and know how much this means. Thank you
