A little peek at some of the activity at the Ivy Bend Food Pantry each month which starts with the Columbia Food Bank delivery on the 4th Monday of the month. Ken, our fork lift expert, removes each pallet from the delivery truck. Butch, one of our floor jack experts, will then make sure the pallet is placed in the cooler, freezer or appropriate floor space. Sometimes, a little TLC is required and our volunteers come through with smiles (pictured here is Dru, Abby, Rosie and Liz). These are just a few of the many dedicated volunteers who faithfully come each month to assist in preparing for the food distribution to our friends and neighbors. Thank you to all of our volunteers who help every month!!!

The Ivy Bend Community Food Pantry received an award from the Missouri Department of Economic Development's Neighborhood Assistance Program that funded an expansion at the facility in southern Morgan County.
The tax credit grant allowed more local money to stay local rather than go to the state and federal governments for wider distribution.
The pantry received its full proposed amount of $308,210 in the grant. That is the amount of donations the pantry received through the program, with $215,747 in tax credits available.
Ivy Bend's award was one of five food pantry programs in the state that received assistance in a recent award announcement from the DOD.
We have received our full $308,210.00 in NAP Grant Donations and the new Pantry became fully operational in July of 2015.
The new pantry building, provides an opportunity to store and give a larger quantity and variety of food to its residents and surrounding communities of Southwestern Morgan County in Missouri. The facility includes free GED education classes, a FREE senior citizen hot lunch program, AA services, limited health services, as well as an after-school tutoring program for children in the Ivy Bend community who are struggling academically.
A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT DONATED.
