The numbers are staggering. Over one million people in Indiana go hungry every day and go to bed hungry every night. A simple meal, a necessity and indulgence for the rest of us, remains out of reach for many. Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana gives hope and removes the barriers for children, the elderly and their families to access the adequate nutrition they need.
“Hunger is a reality in this country. In Indiana alone, one out of five children live in homes where enough food is not available,” said Sheila Carlson, Gleaners Director of Volunteer Engagement. “Through the help of volunteers and corporate support like our wonderful team from FedEx, Gleaners is able to distribute the equivalent of 25 million meals to over 300,000 people struggling with hunger.”
