Over the last several months as food prices and other household expenses have become more costly, the White County Food Pantry has experienced a significant increase in demand for food security assistance among residents throughout the county. This mirrors the much larger national trend of food banks reporting record-level numbers of families and individuals in need.

Supplies of fresh foods like meat and produce have been in the highest demand, and many food banks have had to ration the items they have available.

In White County, IN about 10.4% of the population (2,510 people) do not know where they will get their next meal, according to Feeding America.

Additional proceeds from the event will be donated to the Monticello United Methodist Church Online Campus, which is the church’s online remote worship program.
