Organized in 1923, chartered in 1925, Incorporated in 1970, Altrusa International of Muncie, Indiana, Inc. has been providing services and supports to Muncie and Delaware County, Indiana for more than 86 years. Thursdays in Muncie are noted as Altrusan meeting days because we meet each Thursday at noon. Business and program meetings are held at Minnetrista. Committee meeting are held the second Thursday at the month in different locations in Muncie.
Throughout our history, Muncie Altrusans strive to serve those in need, recognize outstanding senior women from the local high schools and provide scholarships to non-traditional women. Our focus is literacy, women and children, and service. The Muncie Altrusa club is known as the "Leaders in Service" throughout Delaware County, District Six, and Altrusa International.
We only have to look around us to see that families in our community are in need of food and basic necessities. To help with their needs, the Youth Development Committee will be coordinating a food drive during February to benefit the pantry at Christian Ministries. While non-perishable pantry items are always needed, Becki Clock, Executive Director, has shared some items that are greatly needed: Paper products--toilet tissue, paper towels Feminine products Baby items Diapers Baby Wipes Canned fruit Box dinners like Hamburger Helper Cereal Food stamps cannot be used to purchase paper goods, including baby items, so there is always a huge demand for those items. Please bring your items to any February meeting. If you would like for the committee to assist you with shopping, please contact Cindy Sollars or Barb Baker about making a donation. The motto on Christian Ministries letterhead states: “connecting people in crisis with a community that cares.” Please help us show that Altrusan's care! |
