- We will be distributing meals on two days this year rather than one. Distribution will be 3pm – 7pm on Friday Nov. 20st and 10 am – 4 pm on Saturday Nov. 21nd
- We will be distributing meals from the Community building at the Monroe County Fairgrounds – 5700 W Airport Road – Bloomington, IN 47403.
- Pantry279 will still be having its normal saturday food distribution on Nov 21nd.
- This year, we are offing a Hybrid system for Thanksgiving Boxes:
- You can choose the prepacked method, which will be picked up in a Drive thru style. You will still get a meat choice, however everything else is prepacked. If you receive Items you don’t want or need please return them to Pantry 279 at our regular location.
- You can park and come in the Community building and choose everything for your box. This way you don’t have to take anything you don’t want or can’t use. We will have volunteers to help carry your box and help you to your car.
- Remember, it’s one or the other, not both. If you try to do both, you will not be allowed to use the Thanksgiving program again. We have thousands to feed, and need every bit of food to do it.
- Delivery option is available for HOMEBOUND people only. If you are homebound and unable to pick up your box, please check Delivery, otherwise check Pick Up. You MUST be home to receive and sign for the delivery. We cannot leave a delivery unattended. ALL DELIVERY WILL BE DONE ON THURSDAY 11/19, it will take all day and we will not know an exact time. We can’t guarantee that we will be able to honor all delivery requests; but we will do our best to honor as many as possible.
