North Dearborn Pantry receives $1K DCF grant

Board member recommended the pantry for the grant

(WEST HARRISON, Ind.) – The Dearborn Community Foundation is awarding a $1,000 Proactive Grant to the North Dearborn Pantry. 

Dearborn Community Foundation Board Member Gary Honchell recommended that the nonprofit receive the grant.

“My wife and I have supported the pantry for many years, so we know how they do so much for people who have so little. It just makes sense to help people who help people,” Honchell said. 

The Pantry assists Dearborn County residents in need by providing food and clothing, as well as directing folks to other county resources that can further assist them. 

Operations at the pantry are made possible by a director, board and about 150 volunteers. 

They work diligently on many programs that provide food and clothing for adults and children. They also have a holiday food distribution, “Giving Tree” program at Christmas, summer kid’s snack packs, and Back to School supplies.

Today, the Pantry provides meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables, canned goods, toiletries and much more. Its available stock changes regularly, but folks in need receive an up-to-date shopping list every trip.

Households are welcome to return every two weeks for fresh groceries. Service hours and much more information is on the Web Site.

It is located at 2517 North Dearborn Road in Bright and you can learn more by clicking here.
