50,000 meals served since 2013

This week The Patachou Foundation served its 50,000th meal! You helped us get here. In 2013, The Patachou Foundation started by serving 35 meals a week and with your help, we are now serving 800+ each week to Indianapolis kids facing the combined effects of food insecurity, poverty, and low food access. Our goal is not only to make an immediate impact by serving high-quality, nutrient-rich meals but also to create healthy habits that last a lifetime. Time spent at the table is our vehicle to empower kids to know they deserve real food because we believe that they should not go to bed hungry. In fact, after making a fruit salad with us for his lunch yesterday, Jeremy told us, “the first thing I am going to do when I get home is make another fruit salad.” Every day, kids like Jeremy are taking home the lessons they learn around our table. We couldn’t continue to make such a large impact in Indianapolis without your support. Thank you. With gratitude, Matthew Feltrop Executive Director P.S. Want to help us get to our next 50,000 meals?
