In partnership with the Evangel United Methodist Church, The Salvation Army of Rochester Indiana ran a food drive in which they received over $17,000 worth of food donations.

The hope is that the donations will keep the foodbank in downtown Rochester stocked with nonperishable food items through to the end of 2022.

The Salvation Army in Rochester will not be hosting any more food drives like this until 2023 due to a lack of storage, with the belief that the donations they have already received, in addition to monetary and perishable food donations, will maintain the foodbank’s operations for the remainder of the year.

If you or a loved one is in need of assistance from a food pantry, the Rochester, Indiana location is at 1637 Sweetgum Road.

Call, 574-224-4802, that’s 574-224-4802.
