Meeting the growing needs of a community
Wabash County Council on Aging, Inc. began food distribution during the cheese give away days in the 1980’s when the Council on Aging and the Wabash Senior Center were located in The Beacon House on Carroll Street in Wabash. After those early days of the government commodity program, the food distribution transitioned from an entitlement program based on age, to a need based program without age restrictions. With the transition, Wabash County Council on Aging, Inc. continued to distribute the government commodities, which requtires that the federal and state resources be matched by local resources.
The Food Pantry at Winchester Senior Center has been able to meet the growing needs with the help of generous donors referred to as Pantry Partners and Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana.
The Food Pantry’s mission: collect and distribute essential food supplies to residents of Wabash County that have demonstrated a need for supplemental food support.
