There is still such a stigma around asking for help, but the truth is this could happen to any of us. A job loss, rising grocery prices, an unexpected medical expense, or one difficult season can change everything.

We are seeing working families, seniors, and people who have never needed assistance before walking through the doors of food pantries across Southern Indiana.

Needing help does not define who you are. Sometimes we all need a little hope. ❤️

Thank you to WLKY News for helping tell this important story.

Food pantries across southern Indiana are reporting a surge in demand, with families and individuals seeking help as economic challenges grow.
