At this time, Thanksgiving Sign Up for meal requests is closed. We have hit our max. Now we are in full swing of collecting the food and money to pay for the food. Anything we have left over will be given out at the Pantry the last 3 days before Thanksgiving Day.

Pantry279 is celebrating 10 years of serving our community. We started in a tiny church bus bay with nothing but a few shelves, a few hands, and a whole lot of determination. Ten years later, that little corner has grown into a lifeline for thousands of families each year.
To every volunteer, donor, partner, and neighbor who has stood with us along the way: you turned a simple idea into a powerful force for good. You’ve helped us move food, hope, and dignity into homes that needed it most.
Here’s to the first decade in the books, and to the next one waiting to be written. Thank you for believing in this work and building it right beside us. 🧡🥫

Gobblepalooza is heating up. We’re already at 900 turkeys on our way to 1,400, and this little turkey is cheering us on. The community is coming through in a huge way. Let’s keep it rolling so every family gets a full Thanksgiving table.

While we are NOT open for food, we do have some volunteers at Pantry Right NOW ( Sunday Nov. 9 ) so people can drop off donations until 8pm tonight. Please use front door during this time. Thank you! Please share!

We’re almost at max capacity for Thanksgiving sign-ups. If you or someone you know still needs to register, today may be the last day. Sign up here: pantry279.org/thanksgiving/receive-a-meal
With so many families counting on us, we’ll definitely need continued financial and food donations to cover everyone. But thanks to this amazing community, we’re making real headway. Every bit of help moves us closer to a full table for every home.

I know this will not be a popular post, but Health Dept says no dogs around the food, unless trained service dogs. Also, after yesterday's aggressive dogs and owners at the pantry, who were supposed to be service dogs, but were clearly not, I feel the need to post this. True service animals are very welcome at Pantry 279 , and while we love animals, for the safety of our staff and guests, and hygiene purposes, please understand and follow these requests. Thank you.

CONGRADULATIONS to our Edgewood Marching Mustangs on their 4th year in a row of being State Champion!! Not only do these kids work their behinds off in band, but they always support the pantry at the same time!

A day in the life with Traci at Pantry279 looks a little different. While the front room stays busy, she’s in the back tackling the paperwork mountain that keeps this whole place running. Quiet work, big impact. Pantry magic needs a steady hand, and she’s got it.

What a day of love and kindness! Even though we were closed today, a few of us came in to accept donations, as the shelves were mostly empty after Wednesday, plus....Thanksgiving. Wow! We are overwhelmed and so thankful! The pic is from a donation of food from Ava's Waste Removal & their clients. Cook Medical from Ellettsville not only donated several hundred pounds of food, but the 2 ladies who delivered it, stayed and helped us weigh and put things away! Amy from Caffeinated Cook, dropped 4 turkeys and a whole bunch of Thanksgiving items. Crane came by with 10 more turkeys. Attorney Paul Baugh dropped off a generous check. Many, many people came with cash and food donations. We are at 900 turkeys now! We have 2 more pallets of various Thanksgiving food, and our shelves for Saturday look AMAZING! We will be open for donations Sat. 10-3, and distribution of food 1-3. You all Rock!!
