(LaPorte, IN) - The Rotary Club of La Porte is adding four new food pantries to help assure that those in need have access to food supplies. 

Rotarian Becky Pressel, who chaired the project, indicated the new pantries would be located at the La Porte County Public Library, 904 Indiana Avenue in La Porte, at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 111 Kingsbury Avenue, La Porte; Sacred Heart Church, 130 Bach Street in La Porte and at the Kingsford Heights Library at 436 Evanston Road.   

Pressel expressed appreciation to Centier Bank, Von Tobel Lumber, Pressel Enterprises and MGM Class for their suppport of the project.

"Our club is dedicated to helping enhance the quality of life in our community and we're especially concerned that becuase of the COVID-19 pandemic that we still have individuals and families that are going hungry because they don't have access to food supplies.  We wanted to be part of the community-wide effort to help see that doesn't happen and we hope that people will help keep the pantries stocked," she said.
