Elks Lodge 576: Elks care, Elks share

The Feeding Team is grateful to be a benefactor of Noblesville Elks Lodge 576.

“We partner with Feeding Team because it’s a perfect fit for Elks local charity support,” said, Phil Anderson, Lodge 576’s 2025 Exalted Leader.

“We are continually grateful for our local Elks support,” said Feeding Team Co-Founder Lisa Hall said.

Local Elks members not only raise funds for the Feeding Team, but many members are directly involved by volunteering their time to support local families in need as well.

With over 44,000 food-challenged neighbors in Hamilton County, FeedingTeam.org is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that provides outdoor 24/7/365 no-questions-asked free food pantries throughout the county.

The pantries exist to meet the food insecurity needs of gap families, neighbors who may not qualify for public assistance and could use a few meals before payday. The pantries serve as many food-challenged neighbors as possible, and our hearts are with those who, like my family, could not always make ends meet.

Thank you for supporting the pantries. We love serving with so many neighbors across Hamilton County. In future columns, we will share more stories about how your generosity served neighbors in times of need. The face of hunger in Hamilton County is not what you may think.

In practical terms, this straightforward way to help neighbors is having real impact on lives, families, and our communities. Thank you. A few meals can change the course of a person’s life. A can of green beans means so much more when you have nothing to feed your kids.

Would you like to get involved? Volunteer opportunities are available. We are evaluating new pantry locations. If you think you have a potential location, please contact us.
