The county's Veterans Service Office lists it on its page ("Veteran Food Pantry. Fourth Thursday of every month from 9a to 11a. Circle U Help Center") and announces each month's date at the Commissioners' department head meeting. The flyer (July 24, 2026). "VETERAN FOOD PANTRY. Circle U Help Center, 19 N 13th Street, Richmond IN 47374. Bring military/VHA medical ID card. One box per veteran. **Day may change if near a holiday." Getting there: west on US 40 (Main Street), right on North 13th Street, right into the driveway, left into the alley and left again to the back of the Circle U building. "4th Thursday of each month, 0900-1100. For more information, contact: Al Bledsoe at 765-993-2183." What it is not. The pantry is not a county programme with written rules; it rests on the flyer and the office's listing. The flyer sets no income test. In a holiday month, check the date with the office (765-973-9200 ext. 1651) or Mr. Bledsoe.
