About us | From its humble beginnings in a basement closet of a neighborhood church, the MNFP has become the second largest food pantry in Marion County after St. Vincent de Paul. This is only partly due to the ever-growing number of people who need assistance to stave off hunger and food insecurity, but also to the long tradition of service exhibited by the MNFP during its nearly 40 years of existence. Today, we find that the impetus for growth comes not only from the board and our expanding roster of clients, but also from the demands of a new age of efficiency and accountability, the awareness that individuals and families in our broadened catchment area deserve a broader range of food-related services (such as nutritional counseling and cooking classes), and the desire to continue to live up to the high standards of service we, our brothers and sisters in need, and our supporters, expect. |
