As the seasons change, our inner worlds change too, inviting us to pause and reconnect with ourselves and our communities.

If you are worried about your SNAP or WIC benefits, you are not alone. We know how hard it can be to find information when you don't know where to start, so we have created a web page with information about resources all over the state.

Due to the current shutdown,the federal government has notified states that it will not fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beginning November 1st. Approximately 600,000 Hoosiers utilize SNAP benefits, and at this time, Indiana has not announced any plans to fund SNAP using state funds in the interim. If you, or someone you know, could face a gap in food access, here are some statewide resources that could provide assistance.

Great community business offering help to those in our community needing a meal.

Wednesday, October 29th, we have 7 boxes up for grab.

This is just an example of one. They won't all be cheese pizza.

First come, first served. We will limit them so we can help as many people as possible.

Just go to the counter & let them know you are there for a surprise pizza box.
