On 12 August 2024, compatriots of the Anthony Halberstadt Chapter participated in a project in support of the Associated Churches of Fort Wayne food pantry distribution warehouse. Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County was created in 1944 by representatives from 23 local churches. 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. Compatriots Jeff Jones, Ron Kohart, Terry Smith, Ray King and Tim Little (along with wife Brenda and mother Judy) spent three hours sorting and repackaging six large skids of food for redistribution. Six skids represent approximately two tons of food repackaged and ready for distribution. The group was struck by the scope and scale of the operation as well as the tremendous need that exists in the community. This is the second year that compatriots from Anthony Halberstadt Chapter SAR have volunteered their services at the food pantry warehouse.
