The Community Action Mission Program (CAMP) was established in 1998 to meet the ever -increasing needs of the residents of Farmersville, Germantown and New Lebanon in Montgomery County, Ohio.
We are a faith-based, nondenominational, non-profit organization that relies on the resources and volunteers of the community to help those who have fallen on hard times or face a crisis.
Residents in need should visit the Food Pantry at the Masonic Temple in Farmersville on Thursday evenings from 5:30-7:30 or talk to the pastor of any Farmersville church.

million people use inconspicuous plastic cards for staples like milk, bread
and cheese, swiping them at counters in blighted cities and in suburbs
pocked with foreclosure signs.
