Drive Away Hunger Fall Food Drive:
Food Finders Food Bank's annual fall food drive, kicks off on Friday, October 21 and runs through Sunday, December 4.
We're reaching out to our community to help stock the food bank's shelves and ensure that the more than 83,000 of our hungry Hoosier neighbors have enough to eat this winter.
Local leaders, along with our generous sponsors and community partners have stepped up to take action against hunger through various food drives and events - they are calling on our caring community to do the same.
Our goal is simple. Raise
450,000 meals in six weeks. What will
you do to make a difference?
Fill the Food Bank Fridays:
Do you have a group that is looking for a volunteer opportunity?
Each Friday, from 1 pm - 3 pm, we open our warehouse to "fill the food bank" and conduct a massive volunteer group sort of donated retail meat and baked good product to stock the food bank for the upcoming week. Our partner agencies and direct service programs like the mobile pantry rely on this product on a daily basis. This project allows us to be more efficient in making sure that our high demand meat and baked goods are sorted and ready for distribution each week
Volunteers will sort through donated frozen retail meat and baked goods, throwing away items with broken packaging, and sorting them into assigned categories. This is a great hands-on experience -
product sorted will directly benefit our clients within days!
This project is perfect for individuals or a group of up to 30!
Please call (765.471.0062 x 101) or email our Volunteer Coordinator,
Aaron Bieber
with questions, or sign up for a specific shift through our online volunteer
calendar.
We look forward to volunteering with you!
J.P. Lisack Community Food Pantry needs:
Food Finders is in high need of individual or group volunteers to help with data entry as we transition to a new software system in our pantry. If you are comfortable around computers and can donate time in the next two weeks, we would love your help for any length of time on weekdays between 8am - 7pm or Saturdays 10 am - 4 pm. Contact Katie Powell at
[email protected] or 765.471.0062 x113 for more information.
Calling all Hunger Fighters! Our new J.P. Lisack Community Food Pantry has served more than 2,000 customers since its opening in mid-July. We have a wonderful group of dedicated volunteers who are committed to making the pantry a success, but we need to train more to keep up with demand. Our goal is to have six to eight volunteers per pantry shift so that we can be better equipped to provide excellent service and resources to clients seeking assistance.
Volunteers
are needed to stock shelves, greet clients, help with shopping, check-in and check-out. Contact Katie Powell at [email protected] for details.
