St. John Paul II Parish (St. JPII) supports the Speed Food Pantry. Located in the basement of Speed Memorial Church, they are open every Tuesday from 11am – 1pm. Residents in need from Sellersburg, Speed, Memphis and Borden are served. In addition to being given food from the shelves, the families receive vouchers for meat and dairy that can be used at JayC. The food pantry is run by 28 volunteers, with four being from St. JPII. Volunteers help unload trucks, sort and stock the shelves and work during distribution. In addition to receiving funds from the Outreach Collection, food is collected at the church on an ongoing basis.
