This year not as many of us are relaxing, enjoying the Fall Pumpkin spice snacks and hot drinks. More than ever, people are trying to work extra hours or pick up gigs, just to afford the regular food that goes to feed their families everyday. For many this is not enough and they are coming to us AND other food pantries. As you know, from pretty much all news sources, the need is up across the nation, but food is down, WAY, WAY down. Stores and other big donors can't give what they themselves do not have. In order to meet this need, we have been asking every week for extra trucks and anything HHFB and others can spare. We have increased our trips to Indy for food, we've BOUGHT food outside of Thanksgiving and Children's program in mass for the first time ever! While we are NOT out of food, we are at what Christina calls "critical levels". I hesitate to post that we need food at this time of year, as we need Thanksgiving food with just a month and half to go, but we still have thousands to feed! We are over 4000 people higher this year than other years, including 2020. I am making another purchase food order today, we are low on funds. While I heavily encourage Thanksgiving donations, and we can start taking them as we have our donated off site Thanksgiving location as of today, I am also asking for any help you can with food and finds to purchase food. Please speak with your organizations, clubs, churches, each other and if there is any help you can give, we would could really use a boost at this high need time. Once again, though, we are not the only ones! All Food banks and food pantries need love right now! Food donations of all sizes happily accepted! Cash donations can be made on our webpage. www,pantry279.org donate button, Paypal ( pantry279@yahoo.com ) Venmo ( @ Pantry 279 Choose Cindy Chavez as other is dead ) Snail mailed to Pantry 279 P.O. Box 312, Ellettsville, IN 47429 or just brought by when we are there Sat, Mon, Tues Wed. Thank you for everyone support, together we can continue to feed this community, even in difficult times. Please share!!

Thank you everyone who visited us at the Monroe County Fall Festival! It was so nice to see everyone and reconnect face to face. I love meeting people, whom I've only spoken with online in real life. Thank you to those who donated or played our little prize wheel game or purchased jewelry. I'm looking forward to seeing those who offered to start volunteering!
