2012-2013 Holy Cross Harvest Fund Drive

The face of hunger is very real in our community.  Friends, family and co-workers don’t know when they will eat their next meal.  This means they are “hunger insecure” and many are too proud to ask for help.

The problem is closer than you think:

• 17% of the residents of northern Indiana go hungry each day.
• 464,751 households in northern Indiana needed help in 2011.
• Pantries across northern Indiana doubled the number of clients they served in 2011.

But so is the solution. 

$1 = 8 meals or 10 pounds of food.  For every dollar donated, the Food Bank of Northern Indiana can provide 8 meals or 10 pounds of food to its member agencies.   94 cents  of every dollar donated goes back into our community.
