Interested in helping volunteer at our largest food & fund drive of the year? 🦃Turkey Rally🦃 is November 21 from 8a-6p and we need volunteers to encourage Kroger shoppers to kindly consider purchasing Thanksgiving meal items for those in need, and then donating those items (along with cash/check donations) as they leave the store. It is our job to then count those items, tally the number of turkeys and hams, and provide hourly updates to CHFB leadership and 21Alive News! We have four, multi-hour shifts throughout the day at each of three locations: Kroger Dupont, Kroger Coventry, and Parkview Field. Please join us in this fun and heartwarming community food drive!

Seeking to alleviate hunger through the full use of donated food and other resources
About us
Our mission is simple: We are seeking to alleviate hunger in northeast Indiana through the full use of donated food and other resources. Community Harvest Food Bank has been serving northeast Indiana for over 30 years as the largest single provider of charitable food resources to nearly 400 pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters and other member agencies. What began as an emergency food distribution operation from the beds of pick-up trucks to bring emergency food aid to workers impacted by the Harvester closure has grown into a sophisticated food distribution operation providing assistance to 79,900 individuals per year. Our Childhood Hunger initiative is focused on improving the food security and nutrition of young people under the age of 18. Our Feeding Seniors initiative helps low-income seniors that are homebound and unable to travel to secure the food they need. Our Healthy Families initiative fights hunger experienced by working families. In fact, the most recent study conducted by Feeding America (2017) found that 29% of households served by Community Harvest Food Bank exceed 185% of the poverty line and are not eligible for federal nutrition assistance programs. Community Harvest Food Bank distributes more than 13 million pounds of food, and engages over 7,800 volunteers annually. Our nine-county service area includes Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wells, and Whitley counties.
