After Forward Indiana co-founders Sarah Thompson and Carlos Marcano spent their Sundays throughout the spring and summer months serving up free meals in the park to the city s hungry, they have developed a Community Pantry initiative to better address the problem.
A typically stocked pantry will offer a wide variety of non-perishable food items as well as household and hygiene products.

By now, these self contained cupboards are popping up all over the city and beyond, each one a work of public art as well as public spirit. It s a way to bring the community together to help one another, says Thompson. Take what you need and give what you can.
