Pacers Foundation, Gleaners, and Catholic Charities Announce Program to Address Food Insecurity in Terre Haute
Executives from the Pacers Foundation, Gleaners, Catholic Charities Terre Haute, and Mayor Brandon Sakbun held a press conference on Friday, Sept. 27, to announce the expansion of the Drive & Dish program to Terre Haute.
Drive & Dish announced a new partnership with Kroger, MPS Egg Farms and HATCH for Hunger to deliver more than 100,000 eggs to Hoosiers in need. For every Pacers 3-pointer at home games, partners will donate eggs to help feed families across Indiana.
Community leaders and local organizations gathered in Lafayette for a Pacers Foundation roundtable focused on tackling food insecurity. The event is part of the statewide Drive & Dish initiative bringing partners together to turn ideas into action.
A $250,000 donation from the Pacers Foundation and the Herbert Simon Family Foundation will support the Central Indiana Food Relief Fund as Hoosier families face increased food insecurity. The contribution strengthens Drive & Dish efforts to ensure access to nutritious food statewide.
