There are a lot of wonderful organizations around the state of Indiana working to alleviate hunger issues within our community. \u00a0We thought we would highlight five of these organizations: Midwest Food Bank, Salvation Army (Fountain Square), Gleaners Food Bank, St. Vincent de Paul, and Grace Care Center. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Midwest Food Bank<\/b> \u2013 This food bank, a known name to many, serves to provide food to a network of local non-profits. \u00a0At the moment, Midwest Food Bank currently distributes over $13.2 million worth of food each month. In Indiana, Midwest Food Bank of Indianapolis works with 322 agency partners to bring food to over 50 counties in Indiana and Kentucky. \u00a0One fun fact about the Indianapolis location is that it has, \u201ca Garden of Hope.\u201d This Garden, \u201cis an actual on-site garden, taken care of by the Burmese (Chin) refugees in the area.\u201d The garden is staffed by volunteers and each year it produces 25-30 thousand pounds of fresh produce. \u00a0How can you get involved?
