Indiana Food Pantries Receive $1 Million More This Year

Eleven Indiana food banks, pantries, and soup kitchens will receive a combined 2 million dollars from the Department of Agriculture.

This doubles last year’s amount.

The Tri-State Food Bank made the list and will receive $123,000.

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch says providing for food-insecure Hoosiers across our state is a priority.

Nearly 1 in 6 Americans received food assistance from a charitable sector last year.
