INDIANAPOLIS — Some Hoosiers need a little help putting food on their table--and this is your chance to pitch in.
For Giving Tuesday, FOX59 and CBS4 are hosting the Pack the Pantries donation drive. Hoosiers can donate to the Midwest Food Bank and the Gleaners Food Bank, helping thousands of Hoosiers who struggle every day to access food.
Last year, we raised over $90,000 during our 2023 Pack the Pantries – a record for the fundraiser. Read more about that here.
