INDIANAPOLIS — A local food pantry is teaming up with a restaurant to help feed more Hoosiers in need and they’re giving customers a chance to give back for a cause through a new “Giving Wall.”
Get a meal to give a meal, that’s the idea behind the new “Giving Wall” at the Grub House started this week.
The concept is simple. You can purchase a meal for yourself and purchase another for someone else in need.
You take your ticket, put it on the “Giving Wall” and then someone can come and grab it who needs it.
WRTV“It makes me happy that I can feed people and the people that need it,” said DeAndrea Rayner, the founder of the Indy Community Pantry.
Rayner partnered with the North side restaurant to launch the new program which is an expansion of her non-profit’s mission to ease the burden of buying food.
The pantry started in the pandemic, placing fridges filled with food outside in neighborhoods deemed as food deserts.
“You don’t have to be homeless to take the food, you can be a mom struggling to pay her bills,” said Rayner.
