Our History |
The Hinckley Area Food Pantry was founded by Kim Franzen, Vicki Langer, Rev. Kate Feeney-Bastian and Nan Long in 1993. After some research and visits to other pantries, we were ready to begin. We secured the donation of shelves and supplies to get started. We opened the doors for the first time in June of 1993. Kim's vision that the pantry should be for surrounding communities brought us to our name. Her passing just a few years later led us to dedicate the pantry in her memory. When we started this mission, area ministers delivered to clients. As trust grew we were able to transition to client pick up and we still serve that way today. Guarding client privacy and respecting their needs is a guiding principle.
