Nearly 3,000 Meals Donated: Thank You for Helping Feed Our Community
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our shoppers, both of our stores provided nearly 3,000 meals to neighbors in need throughout November and December–one meal equals approximately 1.2 pounds of food.
Together, our community made a powerful impact: both stores collectively donated over 2,500 pounds of food in December (1,224 lbs for East & 1,312 lbs for Near West) and over 1,000 pounds of food donated in November (about 600lbs at East & 400lbs at Near West).
None of this would be possible without you. Thank you to everyone who placed donations in the Hoosier Hills Food Bank (HHFB) donation barrels at our stores. Your kindness continues to make a real difference for families across our community.
We remain deeply committed to supporting access to healthy food for everyone and are continually exploring ways to help those in need. Every contribution, big or small, helps strengthen our community.
We also want to ensure that anyone in need knows where to find support. The Hoosier Hills Food Bank has compiled a helpful guide to food assistance resources throughout Monroe County.
Additionally, you can call 2-1-1 for help with food, shelter, clothing, childcare, transportation, legal services, education, employment, healthcare, and substance use resources.
We’re proud to be part of such a compassionate community, one that consistently shows up to care for one another.
Thank you for continuing to support our neighbors and help ensure access to healthy food for all.
