These trying times have been hard for all of us in Hamilton County and at our Fall Creek Township Office. We have had to make several adjustments to continue to serve Fishers and Fall Creek residents who seek our assistance.
However, one thing that we have been blessed with has been the outpouring from the Fishers area community in donating to our food pantry. The community’s love, compassion and caring could not be greater on display in these trying times.

As a result of these acts of kindness, we have not missed a beat in assisting those in need of food and household supplies. The Fall Creek Township Board and I would like to extend a personal thank you.
One of the greatest donations we received was from our local bank, First Merchants, who donated $2,500 to the pantry. First Merchant’s Customer Service Manager, Cindy Mares, surprised us with this outstanding gift for the community.
Other groups that stepped forward to donate were: Eta Iota Chapter of Tri Kappa, Pennington Park Church, Fishers High School Swim Team, Mortgage Compliance LLC, and Friends of Geist. Also, much appreciation to the local HOA’s and subdivisions who organized food drives: Canal Place, Cambridge, Hamilton Proper and Britton Falls. Our pantry was also blessed with a lot of families who donated as well: Mike Cook, Hagedorn, MacDonald, Ridgeway, Rooney, McGrath, Renicks and Mehlings. Last but not least a thank you to all of the anonymous donations.
