BFP RECEIVES GRANT FROM RCCF

Thank you to the Ripley County Community Foundation for awarding the Batesville Food Pantry a $1000 grant to be used for operating expenses.

Batesville Food Pantry director Kendra Basler stated, "We are very fortunate to live in a community that generously supports all area food pantries. This grant from the RCCF will help to offset the costs of rising food costs for our neighbors who depend on the pantry to meet their basic needs." 

The Batesville Food Pantry is a 501(c)3 organization that is dedicated to serving citizens that reside within the Batesville Community School Corporation, who for a variety of reasons, have come upon hard times and do not have an income that is adequate to provide food for themselves and their family members.
