This network is currently experiencing a 50% increase in visits from Hoosiers needing access to food – about 70,000 households per week. The food banks are also experiencing a 30% increase in food pricing from wholesalers as well as delayed deliveries and other increased operational expenses.

These organizations also face a significant need for volunteers to staff food banks, which is another option for charitable giving (of your time) that we’re encouraging for FSSA staff as part of the SECC this year. To find a place to volunteer, simply go to OperationFood.in.gov and click the volunteer link. After filling out the form you’ll be matched with the nearest food bank or community kitchen.
Please email SECC@fssa.in.gov with any questions.
