Corporate & Foundation Engagement

Partner with us.

There are a variety of ways to partner with us as a corporate entity. Keep reading to get an overview and reach out to us when you’re ready to connect.

Your contributions are critical to Gleaners’ mission

Gleaners offers a dynamic corporate giving program designed to engage businesses in creating meaningful, measurable impact within our 21-county service area. By joining Gleaners as a corporate partner, companies can align with a trusted mission, demonstrate social responsibility, and help ensure that no one in our region has to face hunger alone.

Contact Veronica Onofrey, our Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations, to learn about how your organization can get involved.

Volunteer

We need approximately 300 volunteers a week to maintain our distribution. Volunteering as group will not only help us meet this number to directly support our neighbors, but also help staff build team morale and connection the community. 

Virtual Food Drive

Why participate in a virtual food drive? The answer is simple — your money goes further when we do the shopping. By holding your food drive online, you help save Gleaners both the time and resources incurred through a physical food drive while rallying your team to raise money for a good cause. 

OUR SIGNATURE FUNDRAISING EVENT

Huddle Against Hunger

Huddle Against Hunger, presented by the Indianapolis Colts is Gleaners’ signature fundraising event — but not your traditional sit-down dinner. This event promises an interactive night of fun with the Colts while we raising money to fight against food insecurity in Central and Southeastern Indiana.

Other Ways to Support

At Gleaners, fighting hunger means more than just distributing food, it means addressing the root causes and ripple effects of food insecurity. If you’re passionate about a particular area of impact, we offer several targeted initiatives you can support.

School-based Pantries

Child hunger keeps kids from reaching their potential, causing issues like poor academic performance and developmental differences. We partner with schools to make food accessible to students and their families.

On-site/Mobile Pantries

Gleaners’ on-site drive-thru pantry is the largest food pantry in Indiana. Our mobile pantries are  strategically located across our service area to fulfill the needs of neighbors who live outside the reach of network partners.

Network Partners

Gleaners has a network of more than 300 partners that help us serve neighbors across our 21-county service area. From pantries and soup kitchens, to churches and community centers, our network plays a vital role in making food accessible for all.

G2G

We work with trusted partners to identify neighbors who would benefit from Gleaners2Go, which offers the opportunity to choose food items online pick up directly from a partner site.

Outreach

Our Outreach Team assists neighbors by offering application assistance for SNAP and other federally funded programs, giving individuals and families the resources they need to thrive.
