Ivy Tech Lafayette To Host Food Finders Mobile Pantry

Ivy Tech Lafayette will host the Food Finders Food Bank Mobile Pantry on the college’s southside campus on Tuesday at 11 a.m. The campus is located at 3101 S. Creasy Lane, Lafayette. The Mobile Pantry will be distributing food, including fresh produce, an assortment of frozen items, essential non-perishable items, and breads to people in need. This will be a drive-through distribution. All clients must remain in their vehicles at all times, and must not arrive prior to 10:30 a.m. Anyone in need of emergency food assistance is welcome to attend. Call Food Finders at 765.471.0062 for income guidelines.

Food Finders Mobile Pantry Program allows us to expand our outreach to Mid-North Indiana’s neediest and most underserved families. Designed to be a barrier-free distribution, our Mobile Pantries visit communities whose demand for emergency and supplemental food has outgrown the capacity of local food pantries.
