Nourish NE Indiana: Invest in Local Food

Support the Northeast Indiana Local Food Network during this critical time 

After our extensive 2024 Local Food Needs Assessment and a new 2025 Strategic Plan, our network is facing unprecedented demand. Changes in funding priorities combined with growing needs from farmers, families, schools, and partners mean we must scale our capacity immediately to ensure affordable, healthy, local food is available across our 11-county region.

This is a pivotal moment for our organization. Your generous support is urgently needed to fund our core capacity and operations, allowing us to accelerate our response.

Here's how your donation impacts Northeast Indiana:

• CRITICAL NEED: Fund Our Core Programs & Operations: Your gift will directly support the organizational capacity required to meet escalating demand. This includes essential efforts like organizing Local Food Week and administering/promoting Double-Up Indiana in Allen County. Funding operations is our most critical need right now to sustain and expand our reach.

• Support the Local Food for All Fund: You may also target your gift to our new fund dedicated to making fresh, local food more obtainable for all, directly reducing nutrition insecurity.

Your tax deductible contribution is an investment that builds a stronger local food economy and enables us to serve all Northeast Indiana families effectively.

We welcome your questions about donations and sponsorships. Please reach out to Karen Petersen at karen@neifood.org or Denise Hoff at info@neifood.org.

All contributions are sincerely appreciated.
