Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana

About

Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, Inc., was founded in a three-and-a-half-car garage in 1980. Ever since, we have grown as hunger has grown—fighting the crisis in central Indiana every step of the way.

As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, we work toward accomplishing our mission by securing, storing and redistributing donated food to 350 Hunger Relief Agencies, including:Food pantries, Senior centers, Shelters for battered women and children, Homeless shelters, Residential care centers, Soup kitchens, Faith-based nonprofits, and Youth programs.

Our mission is simple and direct: To end hunger by engaging individuals and communities to provide food for people in need.

Ultimately, Gleaners reaches thousands of people who need assistance. They are the working poor, the unemployed, single parents and the elderly. They are the homeless, the disabled, the mentally ill. They are battered women, victims of disaster and helpless children.

They are families, friends and neighbors throughout Indiana.
