A drive-up food pantry will begin at Deerfield Elementary School following dismissal today, and will continue until 4:30 or when the food runs out. In addition to our usual assortment of food from Second Harvest, we will have a number of kids' winter coats, hats, and gloves in various sizes. All Deerfield families are eligible. Some of these coats are in sizes that may fit younger siblings who are not yet in school. We will be set up in front of the main entrance to the school. Just drive up and park along the curb.

We've learned that the Randolph County Christmas Food Basket Program still has a number of food baskets available for families living in Randolph County. If you want to apply, call 765-546-1180. If there is no answer, leave your name and phone number. Someone will call you back. Applications will be processed in the order the calls are received.
