Tribute to Lucious Newsom

The Lord's Pantry at Anna's House, formerly run by Lucious Newsom, had been providing
support and food for the poor in the Stringtown/Haughville area of
Indianapolis from an empty field. Since 2005, no one has had to stand in the cold or
guess where to go to receive assistance. Anna's House (named after Anna Molloy) opened its doors
to help service the needs of the community.
The facility is designed to provide a place for the weekly distribution of
food as well as a home for weekly community dinners, tutoring neighborhood children, a site for life
skills training and job placement, and a house for an after-school healthy snack
program.
Every Saturday you may go to Anna's House to help continue the ministries of Lucious Newsom,
that endlessly serving gentleman who taught us so well about helping
our hungry neighbors, to pass out food to disadvantaged families from 9:00am-12:00pm.
