Quick Donation
Donate as little as $5 to help provide fresh ingredients like fruits, veggies, and dairy to this week’s meal. Every Wednesday at 5pm, our Shopping Team uses these funds to purchase what is not donated through our weekly donation drives of shelf-stable ingredients. The money donated by 5pm every Wednesday funds the next week’s meal. The amount “in stock” shows you how much we still need for this week’s meal.
Please note that there is a $100 cap on all donations per customer per week. We love your generosity! Please consider making small, consistent donations to support our cause.
Donate as little as $5 to help us provide airtight family sized containers for our community meals. We are also providing smaller sizes for those who have a hard time lifting our larger sizes, as well as microwavable packaging for those who do not have access to an oven to re-heat their frozen Feed the Region meal. Other packaging we need: labels (and ink), plastic wrap, plastic baggies, aluminum foil.

Donate as little as $5 to help us cover operation costs, advertising, or anything else needed this week that the Packaging and Fresh Ingredient donations did not cover. Each donation is used by the end of the week. If you want to donate to Feed the Region for a long-term goal, please contact us directly.

Who
we are
Guided by the mission to Feed the Region with really great scratch made meals, and promote community connection in Northwest Indiana, we provide weekly take-away family-sized meals for anyone who could use a hot meal made with love. We make sure that no food is ever wasted. Left over meals are frozen for pickup through out the week.
Knowing that the best way to sustain a valuable community project takes, well, a community, each meal is lovingly donated by neighbors and prepared by volunteers from The Region in a safe, clean, joy-filled space.
Each meal is hand crafted to be delicious and full of whole food ingredients. Each meal is vegetarian and well-balanced to provide complete proteins. The meals rotate each week and are prepared fresh on site. Meals are group-sized and we encourage them to be shared as widely as possible.
Neighbors of all skill levels, ages, and time commitments can get involved. Whether you pick up meals for neighbors, donate ingredients, or come and cook with us each week, there is a space for you. Please learn more below to see how your talents can help us all Feed The Region.
