How you help

Every year thousands of Hoosier families have food to eat because of our gracious and compassionate volunteers. Because of their generously-given time and effort, we are able to collect and distribute more than 6 million pounds of food each month. We couldn’t do what we do for hungry Hoosiers without your help.
About us

In addition to food distribution to hunger relief agencies, Gleaners serves our most vulnerable populations – seniors, veterans and children – through specialty programs such as School-Based Pantries, Mobile Pantries, Summer Meals for Kids, CARE Mobile, and Senior Hunger Initiative programs. Gleaners also operates one of 7 Regional Produce Cooperatives for Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger relief organization. In addition, we are a disaster relief staging site for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the contract reclamation site for Kroger Central Division.
