Farm to table goes beyond the food stand. Each week volunteers gather to sort and distribute food to those in their community. Maybe you are one of those who help hand out foods, or donate can goods to food boxes in your neighborhoods, if so, thank you for your help.
Hope is out there, and among the many organizations making a difference are the Midwest Food Bank of Indiana and Gleaners Food Bank. We appreciate their dedicated service that helps keep families fed, and schools supported.

Community Connections
The heart of the community are those who inspire a smile. You meet them at regional festivals and events and they’re happy to see you. These are the folks who reach out to help, usually just when you need a helping hand. This is what local organizations do, often without notice, in towns and cities everywhere.
When we travel we do not always see the difference we make with our purchases. It’s the little things that matter as local vendors and restaurants unite to help fill pantries. Or, regional farmers markets who donate fresh picks. And, then, there are the volunteers, who again show up when needed. For these organizations, big and small, the work is about creating a safety net that allows people to live with dignity, hope, and opportunity.
How To Help
To help make a difference, start by contacting local organizations. These organizations can include schools, churches, and charities. Just ask what they need, and you’ll find opportunities available to make a difference. It’s this community spirit that keeps these organizations growing, and makes sure no one is left hungry or in need.
