On 9 August 2023, compatriots of the Anthony Halberstadt Chapter participated in a project in support of the Associated Churches of Fort Wayne food pantry distribution warehouse. The warehouse receives large quantities of bulk donated food from the community and then does a basic inspection for damaged or unusable items and then repackages food for distribution to 23 local food pantries in Fort Wayne and Allen County. Compatriots Jeff Jones, Ron Kohart, Terry Smith, and Ray King (with wife Darlene) spent three hours sorting and repackaging three large skids of food for redistribution. The group was struck by the scope and scale of the operation as well as the tremendous need that exists in the community.
Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County was created in 1944 by representatives from 23 local churches. Today, Associated Churches is a unique faith-based organization that brings together volunteers, churches, and businesses to pray, serve, and work together to improve the community and respond to those in need. Associated Churches of Fort Wayne does not discriminate against any group or restrict anyone from receiving services from the organization. It serves people from all social, religious, gender, and racial backgrounds
