About us

We're determined to eliminate hunger in Indiana and around the world through nutritious food, student education and service opportunities. Nutritious Food. In the United States, our meals help stock the shelves of local food banks and pantries. In developing nations, our meals offset chronic malnutrition in children and nourish entire communities suffering from hunger. Education. Every year, through community partnerships and meal packing events, we educate more than 8,000 people about the toll hunger takes on individuals and communities. Our hope is that this experience will inspire people to advocate and care for the hungry in their own communities and around the world. Service. Our meal packing events are a fun, powerful and hands-on way for organizations and individuals to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. Appropriate for all ages and all abilities, these events allow diverse groups to serve together, build camaraderie, promote team building – all while wearing a cool hair net. Join our fight against hunger by sponsoring a meal pack with your business, school, church or community group. Contact us at info@packawayhunger.org or call 317-429-9876.

  • Earlier this. month, Pack Away Hunger had the honor of partnering with the Ukrainian Society of Indiana to pack 15,000 meals for those in need. We are incredibly grateful for this collaboration and look forward to continuing our work together to feed even more people in the future! The Ukrainian Society of Indiana serves Ukrainian Hoosiers and friends of Ukraine through cultural, educational, and civic projects. We are dedicated to preserving and celebrating Ukrainian traditions; teaching our community about all aspects of Ukrainian culture; and forging connections between Indiana and Ukraine.

  • In the US, symptoms like hair loss and fatigue are often overlooked as potential signs of malnutrition, but they can be indicators of hidden hunger. It's important to recognize these subtle signs and address nutritional deficiencies to improve overall health. 🌟

  • Malnutrition can mean undernutrition or overnutrition, resulting from a lack of calories or deficiencies in protein, vitamins, or minerals, or from excess calories. In the United States, malnutrition often appears as “hidden hunger” with symptoms like vitamin deficiency, fatigue, hair loss, and poor concentration, alongside obesity. These are issues that our NutriPlenty meals are designed to solve. Join us in cultivating a season of nourishment. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of millions. Whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word, every action counts. Together, we can pack away hunger and build a healthier future for all. Thank you for your commitment to this important cause.

    As we approach the end of the year, it's a time for reflection, gratitude, and giving back. Did you know that in Indiana, approximately 14% of households are food insecure? That's thousands of families and individuals, including children, who struggle to access consistent, nutritious meals. It's a sobering reality—but one we can address together. I'm proud to serve on the board of Pack Away Hunger, a nonprofit dedicated to combating food insecurity. Through fundraising efforts and volunteer meal-packing events, we create nutritious meal kits that directly support hungry families and communities across Indiana. Here’s why your support matters: -Impact on children: 15.2% of Indiana’s youth aged 10-17 are affected by obesity, often linked to limited access to healthy food options. -Household struggles: Nearly half (46.3%) of households receiving SNAP benefits in Indiana have children—yet many still experience gaps in meeting their nutritional needs. -Missed meals: In Indianapolis alone, over half a million meals are missed each month due to food insecurity. Pack Away Hunger is on a mission to change these statistics, one meal kit at a time. But we can’t do it without your help. Whether it’s a financial contribution or volunteering your time, every bit of support helps us put food on the table for those in need. As we look toward the New Year, let’s take action now. Your donation could be the difference between a family going hungry or having a warm meal this holiday season. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of so many in our community.
