Mayor Ballard's Citywide Food Initiative
"The Need for Food Knows No Season"
MAYOR BALLARD URGES ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES TO RESPOND TO CITY'S GROWING NEED FOR FOOD DONATIONS
On November 7th, Mayor Ballard made a call-to-action to local organizations and companies to urge them to respond to the City's growing need for food donations.
Mayor Ballard was joined by representatives from local organizations and companies, including the Indianapolis Colts and the Indiana Pacers, which have already committed to join in this effort.
"This year, it's different. Our city, like the rest of the nation, is facing the challenges of an economic downturn," said Mayor Ballard. "Our community food banks are beginning to see a drop in food donations at the point when many of our neighbors are most in need. That's why I'm calling on every business, every school, every church, every charitable organization, every agency of government, and every individual citizen in Indianapolis to pack the pantries at our local food banks, beginning today."
