Inter Parish Ministries Food Pantry Requests

Specific Items Needs

Even though the end of the school year and most graduation parties are recent memories, not many of us are thinking of the start of another school year, yet. However, Inter Parish Ministries (IPM) is already gearing up for their annual Back To School (BTS) Drive.

The staff at IPM has reached out to Heritage to ask if we would donate the following items for the BTS initiative that provides school supplies for hundreds of students.

  • Dry Erase Markers
  • Pens
  • Glue Sticks

All donations can be placed in the grocery cart in the HUUC Great Hall no later than Sunday, August 4, 2024. All of the supplies will be included in backpacks distributed to families before the opening of school.

If you have questions, please contact Ann Roberts at 419-350-9064

IPM Volunteers Needed

Volunteers serving on a regular schedule are also needed at IPM. Now that the new pantry is open, they are providing more services that require more volunteers. Along with the drive thru pick-ups four days a week, Choice Shopping is now available three afternoons a week. IPM is in need of volunteers in the afternoons with jobs such as front desk receptionist, shelf stockers, greeters, and shopper’s companions.  If you would like to volunteer, contact Marsha Blair at

or call 513-527-6274. The new pantry is now located at 4623 Aicholtz Rd in Union Township.
