Bobby’s Pantry, operated by the Perry Township Trustee’s Office in Bloomington, Indiana, is a vital resource for local residents facing food insecurity. The pantry provides essential groceries, household supplies, and hygiene products to individuals and families in need. Open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Bobby’s Pantry welcomes Perry Township residents to receive food assistance once every two weeks, while those residing outside the township may receive support once per year. The pantry plays a crucial role in ensuring that community members have access to nutritious food and basic necessities.
As part of the Perry Township Trustee’s mission, Bobby’s Pantry is dedicated to serving low-income individuals, seniors, and families experiencing hardship. The pantry offers a selection of fresh produce, canned goods, dry staples, and personal care items, helping bridge the gap for those struggling to afford groceries. The volunteer-supported operation ensures that food is distributed efficiently and equitably to those who need it most. With a growing demand for assistance, particularly in times of economic uncertainty, Bobby’s Pantry continues to expand its reach and impact.
In addition to providing food assistance, the Perry Township Trustee’s Office offers other forms of emergency aid, including help with rent, utilities, shelter, and transportation. These services aim to prevent homelessness and provide stability for residents in crisis. The trustee’s office works closely with local organizations, donors, and volunteers to ensure that community needs are met. Donations of non-perishable food, fresh produce, and hygiene items are always welcomed, and volunteers play a key role in organizing, stocking, and distributing food to those in need.
