Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana is thrilled to have received a generous grant from Glick Philanthropies.  The charitable foundation will give Gleaners $100,000 each year until 2026.

Glick Philanthropies is an Indianapolis-based family of charitable initiatives dedicated to building community and creating opportunity that empowers every person to reach their full potential.

Since 1982, Glick Philanthropies has awarded $320 million to charitable causes in Central Indiana and communities where Gene B. Glick Company operates.  

“Nonprofit organizations are uniquely positioned to understand community members’ needs, partner with them to provide support, and connect them to essential resources,” said Marianne Glick, chair of the Glick Family Foundation. “At Glick Philanthropies, our role is to walk alongside these nonprofit organizations to build community and create opportunity. We hope these grants empower our nonprofit partners to reach more people with thoughtful, innovative programs.”

Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana is ready to use this grant to help support sourcing and distributing nutritious food to neighbors in need throughout the next 3 years.

“United with others, we optimize equitable access to nutritious food for people facing hunger and strive to overcome the conditions causing food insecurity,” said Fred Glass, president & CEO of Gleaners. “With Glick Philanthropies’ support, we’re able deepen our programs to better support residents who are food insecure, including the far eastside communities we both serve.”
