With the support of The Arc of Indiana’s Emergency Food Assistance Fund, The Arc Southwest Indiana has been able to provide critical food assistance to nearly 100 clients and staff facing urgent need.

Food insecurity is a reality impacting families in every community. When someone is unsure where their next meal will come from, it affects every aspect of their life, from health and stability to the ability to focus, work, and learn.

Thanks to this funding, we have been able to step in during moments of crisis and ensure that individuals with disabilities, along with the dedicated staff who support them, have access to essential nutritional resources.

We are grateful for this partnership and the meaningful difference it has made. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community where no one has to face hunger alone.

Thank you, The Arc of Indiana, for helping us bring hope and support to those who need it most.
