A recent study by Feeding Indiana’s Hungry found that one in six people in the state turn to meal-service programs and food pantries to keep themselves and their families from going hungry. Julio Alonso, the CEO and executive director of Hoosier Hills Food Bank says the amount of food donated in the months of January and February does not match the need. He recognizes that the winter weather makes it difficult for people to get out and donate but insists there are still ways Hoosiers can help. Whether it is providing a financial donation, food, gifts or volunteering your time at a food bank or pantry, you can do your part to reduce the number of hungry Hoosiers there are, not just during the holidays, but throughout the year.
