Food Assistance Availability

Hoosiers who may be struggling to provide food for their families can use a new online tool to locate nearby help. The state’s Food Assistance Availability Map provides locations of local pantries, community kitchens and other food sources.
The map highlights food pantries and meal sites. Pantries are locations where Hoosiers can pick up groceries to prepare a meal or snack at home, whereas meal sites provide packed, ready-to-eat meals. The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration created the map in response to the coronavirus pandemic, and continues to work with food organizations across the state to track and provide updates on which locations are open. To help others in need, please share this news with friends, family and neighbors. Anyone having trouble with getting food, including those who need groceries, can also call 2-1-1 or visit in211.org to connect with local resources. |
