Sunman Open Door Food Pantry

A Give and Take Food Pantry sponsored by the East Central FCCLA

10/10/2026

❤️ **THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING COMMUNITY!** ❤️

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude! ❤️

After recently experiencing the disappointment of individuals taking advantage of the **Sunman Open Door Food Pantry** and removing far more food than intended, our wonderful community has stepped up in an incredible way!

Thanks to your generosity, our shelves are once again FULL of food and essential items for individuals and families who truly need a helping hand! 🥫🍞❤️

What could have been a discouraging situation has become a beautiful reminder of the kindness, compassion, and generosity that make our small community so special.

**The Sunman Open Door Food Pantry was created to help our neighbors in need—not for a few individuals to empty the shelves at the expense of others.** We ask everyone to please respect our limit of five food items per day so we can continue helping as many families as possible.

To everyone who donated food, dropped off supplies, shared our concerns, or offered words of encouragement—**THANK YOU!**

Our East Central FCCLA students are learning firsthand that even when challenges arise, a caring community can come together and make a difference.

Remember those that are using it to only take 5 items.

❤️ **Together, we are keeping the door open and hope alive!** ❤️

We would like to announce that someone is installing a dedicated blink camera to the Sunman Open Door Food Pantry. If you are in need please limit your visit to 5 items. We will be posting signs. We are sorry it has come to this but the "stealing" or greedines has to STOP for us to continue with this program.

❤️ Sunman Open Door Food Pantry – A Community Reminder ❤️

Our Sunman Open Door Food Pantry was fully restocked this afternoon by 3:00 p.m. By 8:00 p.m. tonight, the pantry was completely empty.

Unfortunately, we are seeing a few individuals take far more food than one household reasonably needs at one time. When this happens, there is nothing left for the many other families, senior citizens, and community members who depend on the pantry throughout the week.

We want to kindly remind everyone that the purpose of the Open Door Food Pantry is to take what you need and leave enough for others. Our students, families, and community partners work hard to collect, purchase, and stock these items, but we simply cannot afford to completely refill the pantry multiple times each week.

Please help us keep this resource available to everyone in our community. Take what your household needs for the immediate future, and please leave food for the next person or family who may be struggling.

We truly want the Sunman Open Door Food Pantry to remain a place where neighbors help neighbors. ❤️ Please respect the pantry and help us make sure there is enough to go around.

Here is another source to help you in your time of need. Especially with food. Also please utilize the Sunman Food Pantry in Sunman on Saturday morning. We are having a very difficult time keeping food and supplies in the Sunman Open Door Food Pantry because the needs of the community are so high at this time. We hope that you can utilize the other resources to stretch your food supply.

The food pantry has been restocked today. Please remember to take only what you need. A special thank you to our neighbors who have donated to keep our pantry stocked.🥰

🥧🇺🇸 Cooking With Purpose: YSA 9/11 Day of Service Turkey Pot Pie Project 🇺🇸🥧

East Central High School FCCLA recently completed an incredible co-curricular service project made possible through our YSA 9/11 Day of Service Grant!

More than 125 students from our Family and Consumer Sciences program and FCCLA chapter worked together to prepare homemade turkey pot pies for members of our local community. Students from Introduction to Hospitality, Principles of Human Services, Nutrition & Wellness, ProStart I, and ProStart II participated in this hands-on learning experience.

The project started with fresh ingredients and real-life culinary skills! Students practiced knife skills while preparing potatoes, celery, carrots, and onions, and they demonstrated proper food safety and sanitation procedures throughout the entire process. Our turkey was purchased from the Kopp’s Turkey Farm in Harrison, Ohio.

Today, students assembled an amazing 85 seven-inch homemade turkey pot pies! ❤️

The finished pot pies were delivered to residents of North Dearborn Village and Raintree Apartments in Sunman, and an additional 14 pot pies were distributed through the Sunman Open Door Food Pantry.

This project was much more than preparing a meal. It gave our students the opportunity to put classroom learning into action while developing culinary skills, teamwork, responsibility, leadership, and compassion for others. It was truly a wonderful example of students using real-life skills to serve their community.

A very special shout-out to Miss McConnell for all of her help throughout this project! ❤️

Thank you also to Mrs. Clary for her help and for accompanying our students to North Dearborn Village after school today, along with students Parker Simpson, Dorothy Schwab, and Addison Quillen.

We are also incredibly thankful to parents Melissa and Jared Wolf and students Ellie Wolf, Josie Wolf, Ella Stenger, and Annabelle Edmonds for helping distribute the pot pies at Raintree Apartments and the Sunman Open Door Food Pantry.

We are so proud of everyone who helped make this project possible. What an outstanding way for our students to honor the spirit of the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance by learning, serving, and making a difference right here in our own community. 🇺🇸❤️

Every act of service matters—and every student can make a difference.

The East Central FCCLA has partnered with YSA to provide FREE 7” homemade Turkey Pot Pies to families in need at the Sunman Open Door Food Pantry tonight, Sept 9th from 4:30 until supplies last. Limit one per family.
