At Plainfield United Methodist Church, our mission is to love God, love people, and serve the world. One powerful way we live out that calling is by caring for our neighbors who are experiencing food insecurity. This spring, we invite you to be part of our Quarterly Food Drive, beginning Sunday, May 4.
Each item donated helps stock the shelves of local food pantries, supporting families across Hendricks County and surrounding areas. Your generosity puts meals on tables and hope in hearts.
How to Take Part
- Pick Up a Bag: Starting May 4, grocery bags will be available in the main lobby. Take one home and fill it during the week.
- Return Donations: Bring your filled bag back the following Sunday, or drop it off anytime during the week at the Donation Depot.
- Give Financially: Monetary gifts are always welcome and will be used to purchase the most-needed food items. Please mark gifts as “Food Drive” in the memo line or select that designation when giving online.
Most-Needed Items
- Canned vegetables, fruits, soups, and meats
- Boxed meals, rice, and pasta
- Peanut butter, cereal, granola bars
- Baby food and infant formula
- Shelf-stable milk and juice
Why It Matters
Food insecurity continues to impact families throughout Indiana. In 2022, more than 950,000 Hoosiers, including 1 in 5 children, faced hunger. Even in our own community, many individuals rely on food pantries to get through the week. Your donations help fill the gap and offer relief to those who may not qualify for other forms of assistance.
Be the Church in Action
Jesus calls us to feed the hungry—and we can answer that call together. Whether by filling a bag, writing a check, or saying a prayer, your participation helps share God’s love in a tangible way.
Let’s open our pantries and our hearts to bless others this spring. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ in our community.
Together, we can feed hope.
