Pandemic Causes Increased Demand On Food Pantry

Distribution of the Thanksgiving phase of Operation Share was today at the First General Baptist Church. Wabash County residents who pre-registered for the Thanksgiving dinners were able to pick up their meal in drive-thru fashion.

WADI’s Debbie Meyer says the pandemic has made the need for assistance even greater this year… 

Operation Share will distribute Christmas dinner to those who sign up on December 22nd.

Meyer said the food pantry is always in need of donations with cereal, canned fruits and vegetables.

The WADI office also has freezer space available for fresh meat donations and deer hunters are even welcome to donate their processed deer meat to the food pantry.

Another holiday outreach program is available this week as Parkview Christian Church is again serving a drive-thru community Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday from 11 to 1 at the church on Route 1 North of Mt. Carmel.
