Martin’s Super Markets and Miller Poultry joined forces to donate 13,000 pounds of chicken to the Food Bank of Northern Indiana on December 10. The contribution comes at a critical time, as many families continue to face challenges brought on by the pandemic and rising food insecurity.
The donation reflects the strong collaboration between local businesses and their commitment to supporting the community. Chicken, a staple protein in many households, provides essential nutrition, particularly during the holiday season when demand for food assistance typically increases.
The Food Bank of Northern Indiana serves a six-county area, where the need for support has grown significantly, with partner agencies reporting a 12% increase in households seeking help. Contributions like this are vital in addressing the rising demand and ensuring that families have access to nutritious meals.
This effort highlights the importance of community partnerships in alleviating hunger and bringing hope to those in need during the holiday season and beyond.
