PANTRY TEAMS UP WITH FAIR TO

COLLECT 125 TONS OF FOOD

Church Community Services is looking forward to an awesome week at the Elkhart Co. 4-H Fair! Come visit them at Building E.

The Elkhart County 4-H Fair and Church Community Services have teamed up to raise 250,000 pounds of food for Elkhart County food pantries this year. You can help them “Harness Hunger in Elkhart County” by donating at the gate or adding a non-perishable food item to the box. Donations on behalf of the program will also be accepted at CCS, 907 Oakland Ave. in Elkhart, and online at churchcommunityservices.org/get-involved/donate/. Donors can specify that the donations are part of the “Fairs Care” campaign and the donations will be counted toward the campaign’s goal of $250,000 pounds or dollars.

The food bank at Church Community Services provides about 70 pounds of food per month to a family of four. With 250,000 pounds of food, they could feed more than 3,500 families for a month.

Church Community Services’ Seed to Feed program will also be featured and will be offering tractor rides this Friday for Ag Day.
