HOOSIERS SHOULDN’T GO HUNGRY

Data shows that nearly 1 million Hoosiers experience food insecurity each year, including about 300,000 children. Through initiatives like Drive & Dish, Powered by Gleaners2Go, the Pacers Foundation helps provide nutritious food to families in need as we work to achieve food equity across Indiana.
