Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, more than ever, families are struggling to buy groceries. Meat provides one of the most important nutrients (protein) that is vital to the growth and development of children and the health of all Hoosiers. Sadly, it is also one of the most expensive and hardest commodities for hunger relief agencies to get.
The St. Joseph Community Health Foundation has awarded additional funds in the form of a grant totaling $5,000 to Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry to pay processing fees on livestock donated to agencies serving food-insecure residents in Allen County.
