Donate Volunteer About In Need of Assistance

German Band Donates to the Hobart Food Pantry

Each year we are grateful and blessed to be the recipient of the fundraising conducted by the German Band, Inc.  The donation each year is given in memory of Nick Holzmer, a former volunteer of the Hobart Food Pantry, and a founding member of the German Band.  Members of the band know that the Hobart Food Pantry was near and dear to Nick's heart and have made it their mission to raise funds during the year that are then donated to the Hobart Food Pantry.  Each year a different volunteer for the food pantry accepts the donation in person wherever the German Band may be playing.  This year two of our volunteers and board members, Karen Robbins and Terry Butler, traveled to Moser's Austrian Cafe in New Carlisle, Indiana to accept the $15,000.00 check from the German Band members.  Thank you so much to the German Band for their generosity and continued support of the Hobart Food Pantry which will help us to continue our mission of helping families in Hobart!
