Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana Inc. released its 2025 Impact Report, highlighting the continued rise in need for food assistance in Indiana. Grocery prices, rent increases, and stagnant wages, paired with fewer resources, are making it even harder for too many of our neighbors to afford healthy nutrition. The Community Outreach Ministry Eastside food pantry is proud to be a Gleaners partner in providing food!
