GO Pantry helps hungry kids in our community who do not have enough to eat on days they are away from school. We live in this community and strive to make a positive impact on kids in our area by providing food to those who are hungry. We believe that "to those whom are given much, much is required." Our "much" includes time and resources to create a mobile pantry that fills the gap for children relying on the school system for basic food needs. As a secondary mission, we have found a way to involve many people with volunteer and giving opportunities.

In 2014, the Mid-North Food Pantry was awarded a grant from the Indy Hunger Network for modifications to the building to allow full pallets of food (called “totes”) to be taken directly from the elevator to the pantry store room using a pallet jack. Previously, a full pallet of food would have to be handled several times by volunteers to move through doorways too small for a pallet to go through. MNFP is now able to purchase full totes from Gleaners Food Bank at a cost of 6 cents per pound. A tote can hold several hundred pounds of food and includes everything from cereal to meat.  A full tote costs about $20.
