Board member Lisa Moorhead chose the food pantry
(AURORA, Ind.) – The Dearborn Community Foundation awarded its $1K grant to a local nonprofit.
The grant process allows each DCF board member to choose the organization that receives the funding.
Board member Lisa Moorhead chose The Clearinghouse, which is a food pantry that serves more than 2,000 people in Dearborn and Ohio counties. The service includes groceries one time monthly but more during emergencies, and lunches every day the Clearinghouse is open.
"My first thoughts in recommending the Clearinghouse are centered around the needs of our children," said Moorhead, who is also Vice Chancellor-Enrollment Services and Student Services at Ivy Tech Community College. "Also, their partnership with Ivy Tech Community College and the Food for Thought Pantry has helped to remove a barrier to continuing education from contributions to our local school districts, in meeting the extra critical food or other essential products students may need."
