INDY COMMUNITY PANTRY
"Take What You Need, Leave What You Can."
Indy Community Pantry is a non-profit organization in which stocked refrigerators and dried good pantries are strategically placed in food deserts for those in need. You don't have to be homeless to use them. It is completely free and open to all! It's also free and easy to help stock the fridge and pantries. All items must be sealed and please no homemade meals, raw meat, or seafood. We also take baby food, cleaning products, sanitary items, household items, and masks.
