BUNKER HILL, IN- IDOC’s Miami Correctional Facility located in Bunker Hill, IN recently donated $500 to Miami County Helping Hands Food Pantry. CFO Ken Magers from Miami County Helping Hands graciously accepted the check from James Stamper Community Engagement Coordinator and Public Information Officer. Miami County Helping Hands was formed to attack poverty in Miami County by helping with food, housing, utilities, prescriptions, and other critical services to low-income families.
Miami County Helping Hands has provided emergency assistance to nearly 7,000 families, and they have distributed over $1.3 million dollars in food assistance. The organization is operated entirely by volunteers, and funding comes directly from community donations. Inflation has significantly impacted their operation in recent months…rising food costs and fuel prices ultimately impact how much food can be purchased. Donations are always accepted.
Miami County Helping Hands is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm.
