Pack the Pantries with Food
The Mayor called on all of Indianapolis to help out and Pack the Pantries with food. Your response has been tremendous. As a result we are extending the date until Friday, December 19, 2008.
Our Metropolitan Police and Fire Department have announced that members of the community can bring food for the drive to any firehouse and/or police station before December 19.
The Parks Department has also offered the public 15 park office locations as drop off points for the food drive. Please make sure that you coordinate with us to pick up the donated food by contacting:
