 God's
Bounty, Inc. is on the "Simply Give" Christmas campaign at the
Southport Meijer store from Nov. 6 thru Jan 7. Look for the
Simply Give kiosk at the front of the store, pick up a donation
card for $10 and pay at check out. This amount goes into the
fund that we will get at the end of January in Meijer gift cards
to purchase food for the food pantry at Meijer stores. Meijer
will match all of our donations. |

God's Bounty is a
not-for-profit food pantry that exists to distribute food to the
needy in Franklin Township, Marion County, Indiana and
surrounding area. Our purpose for distributing food is to
provide supplemental food to clients who are having difficulty
providing food for their families.
Our on going effort is directed towards soliciting funds and
food donations in order to meet the needs of our clients.

How God's Bounty began:
The Franklin Township Minisiterial Association saw a need in
their community for an assistance program. A food pantry was
discussed and that idea was presented to their congregations. In
the Fall
of 2010, those interested from all the churches came together
and the Steering Committee was formed. There was so much
enthusiasm that work soon began on the building that previously
had been the
parsonage of New Bethel Baptist Church. A wall was taken down,
shelves were built by volunteers, furniture was donated, food
donations came from those churches, freezers and refrigerators
were
brought in and by February 3, 2011 the doors of God's Bounty,
Inc. were open and ready for clients. Unfortunately, there was a
coating of ice on the trees and streets of our community that
morning. Out
came men with trucks and shovels, removing the ice from our
parking lot and sidewalks, but we had no one venture out to our
Grand Opening. Every Thursday, since then, we have served many
families from Franklin Township and surrounding areas, sharing
our “bounties” with our neighbors in need. |
