History

Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc. began food distribution during the cheese giveaway days in the 1980’s. At that time the Council on Aging and the Wabash County Senior Center were located in the Beacon House on Carroll Street in Wabash. After those early days of the government commodity program, the food distribution transitioned from an entitlement program based on age to a need-based program without age restrictions. With the transition, Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc. continued to distribute the government commodities, which requires that the federal and state resources be matched by local resources. We provide one to two tons of food and household items of necessity.
