While these numbers seem crazy, they are attained year after year with many small donations. I get asked a lot, how do you know you will get everything? I Don't! And trust me, the sleepless worry nights are real. But every year this amazing community some how pulls it off. Notice corn and green beans are not on there, we actually have those! so 2 things OFF the list! Please talk to your churches, organizations, schools, work-places, or just friend/family group, NO donation is too small. Here's a link to promise food items: pantry279.org/thanksgiving/contribute/contribute-food Thank you and Please SHARE

Happy Friday! On this lovely Fall day, with temps finally starting to drop, I am reminded that Thanksgiving distribution is a month away! WOW time flies! And with that, I am reminded that we need a lot to make this happen. We currently have 1200ish families signed up ( that's around 10,000ish individuals ). We need many food items and money to pay for meat and whatever we can't get donated!. For this post, I will list for Monetary donations, and later I'll list what food it needed.
Monetary Donations can be made via Paypal Pantry279@yahoo.com
Venmo @pantry279
Donate on our website: pantry279.org/thanksgiving/contribute/donate-money
Or just bring it by the pantry while we are there or mail Pantry 279, P.O. Box 312. Ellettsville, IN 47429
Thank you for making this huge project some how work every year, and please SHARE and talk with you organizations, churches and businesses about contributing.

How do deliveries work for people who aren't able to come to the pantry?
Thank you very much!
For those whom do not know of this massive recall or ready to eat Deli and frozen chicken products, here is the article. It is important that you check for these and get rid of them. We checked everything we had, and only had 9 salads, which were promptly destroyed.
