Food Bank
Seven of 11 census tracts in Wellspring’s service area are food deserts, and nearly 52,000 living in Allen County experience food insecurity of which over 1/3 are children.
Our Food Bank provides food and personal hygiene items to a geographic area with borders defined by the St. Mary’s River (North and West), Taylor Street (South) and Calhoun Street (East). The Wellspring Center is also an “emergency food bank site”. We provide information and referrals as needed to our Food Bank recipients.
