Things We Do
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“On Saturday night, I would often go to work thinking about my kids, knowing exactly how many tips I needed to pay our rent for the month. When I learned about IPM, I was worried about what people would think, but my family was in need, so I walked through the pantry doors. The volunteers were so welcoming, and I was relieved that I could count on the pantry for the food my family needed."

Our History
​
Since our founding in 1964 by four local churches, IPM Food Pantry has focused on feeding families in need to create a thriving community. IPM has expanded its reach, through collaboration, from a single pantry into more than 30 zip codes spanning four counties. The 2020 pandemic caused us to shift — as need increased and indoor access ceased — to Drive-Through and Mobile pantries. In 2022 IPM provided nearly 40 mobile food pantries, and almost 65 percent of our clients are served in their communities with Mobiles, Pop-Ups and through our Food Resource Hub.
