To ensure that we can help as many people as possible we can only allow one monthly visit to the full pantry, which is about 7-10 days of food, and one weekly visit to the produce/bread pantry.
Starting in May, each client who comes to the main food pantry at 292 Center Street will be given a Love Chapel Food Pantry card. This card must be brought each time the client comes to the main food pantry. Lost cards will result in a 1 week hold on food pantry services. To receive a new card, clients must fill out an application.
All outreach pantries will still require proof of residence in Bartholomew County. Your proof of residence must include your name, mailing address, and be dated within 30 days of the mobile pantry visit. Your proof of residence can be a piece of mail or any of the alternatives listed below:
Mail or ID expedite the process.

I just moved to the area, and I need food. Can I get help?
Yes! You will receive groceries and a food pantry card at our main location. Also, each mobile pantry will provide groceries and share additional instructions.
My friend or family member lives in the same apartment as me. Can we both get food from Love Chapel?
No, only one monthly visit per household for a full pantry load and one weekly visit for a smaller produce/bread load.
How do you verify income?
We do not check income. Life is complicated, and any number of circumstances can suddenly change someone's financial situation. We want everyone who is in need—whether temporary or long-term—to be able to get food from Love Chapel.
I want to donate food. What do you need?
