Simple Ways to Fight Hunger this Summer in Your Community



With Memorial Day weekend upon us and summer fun ahead, Catholic Charities remains dedicated to serving those in need within our communities. Feeding America reports more than 31 million kids depend on free and reduced price school meals programs to help them grow and thrive – this includes school-age children in your very own neighborhood who will face days of hunger this summer unless someone intervenes on their behalf.

If you are looking for a simple way for your family to make a difference this summer, a small donation of fresh produce or canned and boxed items will be a huge help to a family in need.

Donations can be made to the Crisis Office in Indianapolis, the Terre Haute Catholic Charities Foodbank, or to Martin’s Cloak Food Pantry in Tell City.

If you do not live near one of these locations, we encourage you to find your local food bank or food pantry and make a much-needed contribution to help a struggling neighbor today. Your compassionate generosity will not go unnoticed by the Lord.

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.' – Acts 20:35
