Let’s Give Food Drive Aims to Restock Local Pantry With November Community Effort

The Town of Brownsburg’s largest annual food drive, Let’s Give, returns Monday, November 3, through Friday, December 5. During the five-week drive, community members are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items to help stock the Messiah Lutheran Church food pantry, which serves more than 2,000 families across Hendricks County each year.

A table displaying various non-perishable food items, including canned goods, cereal boxes, and other packaged foods, set up for a food drive.

Donations of canned or boxed food items can be dropped off at several convenient locations:

  • Brownsburg Town Hall (61 N. Green St.)
  • Brownsburg Parks Administrative Office (402 E. Main St.)
  • Brownsburg Public Library (450 S. Jefferson St.)
  • Brownsburg Police Department (31 N. Green St.)
  • Brownsburg Fire Territory Headquarters (470 E. Northfield Dr.)

Drop-off hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Messiah Lutheran Church food pantry, which assists over 2,000 families in Hendricks County, is deeply grateful for the ongoing support from our community. Thanks to the generosity of our community in the past, our food drive has ensured that supplies last well beyond the holiday season and into spring.

  • Canned Soup
  • Pasta
  • Canned Fruits & Vegetables
  • Canned Beans
  • Canned Meat

A group of community members gathers around a large collection of food donations for the Let's Give annual food drive, showcasing various boxes and bags of non-perishable items.

Last year’s Let’s Give drive collected more than 7,100 food items, contributing to the nationwide effort to combat food insecurity and making a lasting impact on families in our community. With your help, we can make this year’s drive even more successful.
