Who’s Taking Care in Community this week:
The Patachou Foundation
The Patachou Foundation prepares and serves healthy meals to children impacted by poverty and hunger and increases their awareness, connection, and excitement about food. In addition to serving 2,000 after-school meals at eight Indianapolis schools each week, Patachou Foundation volunteers take time to pull up a chair and create positive relationships around the dinner table.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the foundation has shifted gears and is now delivering wholesome, reheatable meals to families in need. During this crisis, the Patachou Foundation’s reach has grown to touch more families and communities than ever before.
Thank you for taking care in your community, Patachou Foundation!
