Food pantries, groceries and soup kitchens Porter County.

Low-income families and people with no-money in Porter County will get free groceries from a food bank or pantry. The distribution centers that are open today give out food boxes, personal toiletries, pet supplies and many service meals as well from a soup kitchen. Find a free food pantry near you in Porter County IN.

Most food assistance programs are operated by churches or charities in Portage or Valparais. The distribution centers and drive thru food banks provide struggling families, seniors and single moms with free, emergency food as well as other support, such as Meals on Wheels (restaurant quality food) or applications to SNAP assistance and EBT cards. Or look here for restaurants near you that accept EBT.

Due to the fact that resources are limited, the non-profits have limited supplies. They will tend to provide a small amount of groceries or food. It is usually only offered once a month or so, but each pantry does have its own application process. There may be dairy items, canned goods, butter, eggs, meat, fruits, dog or cat food and even baby formula. Or if someone needs a meal, such as a senior citizen, that can often be arranged in Porter County.

For clients that need more long term support, they may better be served by government aid. Whether it is SNAP food stamps (assistance) or surplus USDA commodities, some help may be provided.
