HISTORY & MISSION.
The Batesville Food Pantry is a ministry of the Batesville Area Ministerial Association (BAMA). This association is a composite of Christian churches in the Batesville and Oldenburg areas. BAMA has provided financial assistance and volunteer support for the Batesville Food Pantry for over 20 years.
​
Since its founding, the Batesville Food Pantry has grown and expanded and now fills part of the building that once served our community as a grocery store.
​
Currently, the Batesville Food Pantry partners with the Gleaners Food Bank to distribute food to the neighbors within the Batesville Community School Corporation in need of food assistance. As a Gleaners partner, the Batesville Food Pantry receives government commodities provided by the USDA.
​
Throughout the years, the mission of the Batesville Food Pantry has remained consistent - to alleviate hunger in our community.
