The next generation of change makers recently joined us at Westminster. 💙
Eleven families with Seeds of Caring Indianapolis — 14 kids and 16 grown-ups — rolled up their sleeves to assemble emergency food kits. Those kits go home with neighbors who need a hand when our pantry isn't open, so kids as young as 2 helped feed our community in a very real way.
Thank you, Seeds of Caring families. You made our pantry shelves a little fuller and our hearts a lot bigger.
