Volunteer With Us
Feed the Region provides hot, take-away, family-sized meals to whoever needs them free of charge. We serve Northwest Indiana, cooking and serving in a centralized location, Valparaiso, IN.
It takes a community to serve a community. We not only feed our neighbors, but we give our neighbors a way to give back to their immediate community in real time. Whether you’re wanting to see donated dollars go directly to help those in your community, or feeling called to serve the community in person, Feed the Region has a need for your gifts and talents.
Please see below for the many ways you can help us Feed the Region!

Our Process
Engage the Community
We know that the best way to help the community is by small, consistent, contributions from our neighbors. We engage directly with the community to source donations, volunteers, and to spread the word. Click here to Get Involved.
Train Volunteers
Volunteers are trained with our mission in mind. Not only do we feed our neighbors, but we treat them with dignity. Volunteers are trained to be safe and helpful but also to know that we are all one community who succeeds together. Click here to see Upcoming Volunteer Orientations.
Feed the Region
Each week we gather at Nana Clare’s in Valparaiso Indiana to cook for and serve our neighbors. We do so with joy and love so that the food nourishes bellies and hearts alike. Click here to see when the next Feed The Region meal will be served.
Repeat!
We encourage small, continuous involvement so that we can continue to fight food insecurity in The Region until it is eradicated completely from our community. Check out our FAQ for more information.
