Food Pantry<\/strong>\u2014A community wide service is administered by our church to provide food to those in need. \u00a0THe pantry covers 600 square feet of space in the CLC and utilizes multiple freezers and refrigerators. We are staffed entirely by volunteers from several different churches in the Bloomfield area. Each December we distribute “White Christmas” food boxes, on a first come, first served basis, to families in need so that they may enjoy a special holiday meal.
\nPer month, we see an average of 90 different families come through this pantry. Many of these families have an ongoing need and are repeat customers. A household may shop one time per calendar month.<\/p>\n

Current hours of operation are 9:00-11:00 AM Tuesday through Thursday mornings and 4:30-6:00 PM Tuesday evenings (for people who work outside the home). We are closed on major Holidays. Hours are always subject to change based on volunteer availability and\/or inclement weather, so please call the church office at 812-384-8459 <\/span><\/span>if you have any questions!<\/p>\n
