IPM Expands Pop-Up Pantries to Reach

Senior Citizens in Clermont County

Thanks to a generous Healthy Aging grant obtained through a partnership with Clermont County Senior Services, IPM Food Pantry is bringing Pop-Up Pantries, Fresh Start Kitchens and Restart Kitchens to our senior neighbors in need.


The Pop-Up Pantries — seven to date, at senior living centers from Williamsburg and Felicity to New Richmond and Goshen — are specialized to provide healthy and easy-to-prepare foods geared to their needs.


We are so grateful to collaborate with our community partners to expand our reach throughout our service area.

"The partnership between IPM Food Pantry and Clermont Senior Services is truly special and long overdue. By teaming up, we've been able to provide essential resources like Pop-Up Pantries to make sure our seniors have the food and services they need to stay independent. This collaboration shows the power of community support and our shared commitment to improving the lives of older adults in Clermont County." — Bill DeHass, CEO, Clermont Senior Services



“The residents at Garrison Place would like to thank you all for the food that was provided for them. Your staff were all so helpful with the residents. They couldn’t believe that you all even helped them back to their apartments. It was like a holiday of gifts from heaven.

They’re still talking about it. They asked if you all could come every month. Again, Thank You from the bottom of our hearts, it was so much appreciated. — Garrison Place Resident Manager



"Oh my word! Thank you! Thank you! I wish you would come every week. This food is exciting! — Garrison Place Resident

Crossroad East Side Church Volunteers Serve IPM

With City Serve Day Projects

IPM recently welcomed 28 volunteers from Crossroads East Side Church as part of their City Serve Day, themed "Serve Your City. Change the World." They tackled various projects around our Food Pantry and Distribution Center, from packing emergency food boxes and crates for our Drive-Through Pantry to weeding and painting inspirational signs and rocks that may be found around our property.


Volunteers are at the heart of IPM, and we are thankful for all of you!
