INDIANAPOLIS  — The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced Friday it had developed an interactive online statewide map that can help residents seeking food assistance find what they need.

The map shows two types of organizations, food pantries and meal sites. Food pantries are locations where Hoosiers can pick up groceries to prepare and use at their homes. Meal sites serve packed meals, ready to take home and eat.

The map is in partnership with the state’s food banks, the Indy Hunger Network and the food bank group Feeding Indiana’s Hungry.

FSSA Secretary Jennifer Sullivan says that the pandemic has caused many families who have never needed assistance before to need it now.
