“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food, for warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand, and for a talk beside the fire; it is time for home.” – Edith Sitwell
According to the Hamilton County Harvest (HCH) Food Bank, Hamilton County ranks seventh highest among Indiana’s counties in number of food-insecure individuals – approximately 24,270 people. A total of 21 percent of working adults are not earning enough to afford essential resources for their families.
Food pantries and children’s meal programs primarily rely on food banks and donations to supply the food they distribute to people in need.
At HCH, this has been a second record year for food distributions. It is because of you, HCH’s wonderful supporters, that the food bank can provide food and hope for neighbors.
Because of your generosity, Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank has distributed over 1.2 million MEALS to the local community since beginning in 2009.
But hunger still exists in Hamilton County.
HCH Food Bank needs your help. If you’d like to help fill the barrel and host a food drive, HCH can help. Click here to fill out a form and someone from HCH will contact you.
