DRIVE-THRU FOOD AND MEAL DISTRIBUTION
Join us to combat hunger and food insecurity in our community. On April 21, 2002, the Indianapolis Urban League, and its partners initiated a no-contact, drive-thru food, and meal distribution for families impacted by COVID-19 due to the loss of jobs and income reduction. Families receive food boxes, fresh vegetables and dairy items, ready-to-serve meals, and community resources and services. This hunger relief effort has continued serving residents in our community due to continued demand.
