Mission

IPM's Mission:
To provide food, clothing and other communal support to those in need and to empower clients with information, support and services to improve their lives.

Start A School Drive

Hunger happens right here in our Cincinnati suburbs and surrounding rural areas, and IPM provides a little food to carry people through. Food donations are needed year 'round, not just at Thanksgiving and Christmas!

If you have a group or organization other than a school that would like to conduct a food drive, please contact Sarah Cadle for information at (513)561-3932 or sarah@interparish.org

 More Families=More People=Less Food

Sally and Dale didn't plan to lose their home, but job losses forced them to give it up. They were having trouble feeding their two children and finding hope in a desperate situation. They had never had to ask for help before. Walking through the door at IPM was hard, but when they left with bags of food they had chosen for their family, with encouragement from IPM volunteers and staff, they had regained hope.

Without your help, we will not be able to meet the overwhelming needs of the families coming to our Choice Pantry in great numbers. An average of 29 families per day is quickly emptying our shelves. Please check our "Needs List" below or on our Needs page. Canned meat, stew, canned pasta, pasta sauce, jelly--all critically needed.

Thanks for your help!
