Drive & Dish

Drive & Dish, Powered by Gleaners2Go, is a free program funded by Pacers coach Rick Carlisle with support from the Pacers Foundation, donors, corporate partners, and philanthropies, to provide nourishing food with dignity to families in need across Indiana.

In just its second year, the social impact program has evolved from a promising experiment into a sophisticated model for food security solutions. What began as a straightforward mission to provide fresh produce and eggs to Indianapolis families has transformed into an operation that served more than 1,000 households and 250,000 pounds of food in its first year alone. 

Drive & Dish is positioned to engage communities across Indiana in meaningful dialogue about food security solutions, with proven success in both urban and mid-sized markets. The foundation is able to leverage its unique opposition at the intersection of sports, community development, and social impact to expand the innovative model statewide. Our three-point strategy for intentional engagement will establish the foundation as both a thought leader and action catalyst in addressing food insecurity – one community at a time.
