New Haven Food Bank at Emanuel Lutheran Church

Established in 1999 by Emanuel Lutheran Church, the New Haven Food Bank serves qualifying residents of New Haven and the surrounding rural eastern Allen County area. The nonprofit operates with an all-volunteer staff of over 60 community members, supported by local churches, civic groups, and generous citizens, and has provided more than 900,000 meals to families in need over its more than two decades of service. The organization was recognized by New Haven's mayor's office as the city's 2020 Non-Profit of the Year for its dedication to combating food insecurity in the community.
