The Adams County Community Foundation (ACCF) recently awarded a grant to Community Harvest Food Bank for Adams County Farm Wagon Program. The Farm Wagon Program makes weekly stops in Adams County to distribute fresh produce, dairy products, and other healthy foods directly to families in need with a drive-through distribution. In Adams County, the Farm Wagon distributes food on Wednesdays at 9:00am at the Don Ray Memorial Park (115 Memorial Dr., Monroe, IN). The Farm Wagon distributions generally last about one hour and is on a first come, first serve basis.

Nehemiah Godsey, Community Harvest Food Bank grant writer, expressed appreciation to the ACCF for this support which has provided 206,586 pounds of food to Adams County families in need in 2024. Louise Ray, ACCF board president and grants committee member noted that the ACCF is pleased to be able to support Community Harvest Food Bank and their efforts to provide food to families in our community.

This ACCF grant was made possible through unrestricted fund sponsored by the John & Kay Boch Fund. John Boch was the Decatur postmaster and Kay Boch was the owner of the popular ‘Kiddie Shop’ on Second Street in Decatur. Though deceased, they are leaders in the philanthropic giving in Adams County. Establishing a supporting organization in the ACCF in 1996, this fund has provided stability to the Foundation. Growing the fund to over $5,000,000, nephew Robert Boch was very dutiful as he managed the investment and the distribution of the grants and scholarships.
