Providing services to vulnerable populations in the local community.
The CLM Food Pantry serves residents of Clark County, Indiana. We are interviewing clients in our lobby and distributing prepared food boxes from our side entrance from 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. On the first Tuesday of each month, we will remain open until 6:00 p.m.
The Center for Lay Ministries (CLM) is the umbrella organization for two important missions: the Food Pantry and the Bliss House.
Our Mission
The Center for Lay Ministries was started by members of local churches as a food ministry to help meet the needs of their neighbors. The Center for Lay Ministries was incorporated on May 18, 1970. We provide food to 1,200 clients and their families each month. Our Bliss House residential recovery program for women battling alcohol/drug addiction has several graduations each year.
We know that we are making a life-changing difference for these graduates and their families. Your support helps us to continue this important work.
