Community Cupboard

Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc. began food distribution during the cheese give-away days in the 1980's. At that time the Council on Aging and the Wabash County Senior Center were located in the Beacon House on Carroll Street in Wabash. After those early days of the government commodity program, the food distribution transitioned from an entitlement program based on age to a need-based program without age restrictions. With the transition, Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc. continued to distribute the government commodities, which requires that the federal and state resources be matched by local resources.

The Community Cupboard food pantry at Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center has been able to meet growing needs with the help of generous donors and Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana.

The Community Cupboard Food Pantry's mission: Volunteers will collect and distribute essential food supplies and household items to Wabash County residents with a demonstrated need.

Community Cupboard Hours of Operation:

Monday and Tuesday, 3–5:30 p.m.
Wednesday – Friday, 9–11:30 a.m. 
Each household may come once a calendar month.
