Washington Township and Pantry 279 - Do you need help?

Pantry 279 is the closest and best Free Food Pantry Option for our Township residents. Since we have no public office for our Township at the present time, please visit Pantry 279 for your emergency food needs. Washington Township donates funds to help support this pantry, along with other generous donations of support and volunteers from our local community.

Consider volunteering your time or donating to the Pantry or the Hoosier Hill Food Bank. Here is a link to the website https://pantry279.org/ or go to Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/Pantry279
