Love the work that this organization is doing and being a part of helping others in our community!

I had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer in Miami County for a Mobile Pantry Outreach Distribution. The staff made the volunteers feel like honored guests! I felt honored to help so many families! I ❤️ the Food Finders Organization and all the good things they do for our communities!
Always enjoyed my time working with you and your crew. Your cooperation with the USPS during our food drives was unparalleled. Very professional, which was always appreciated. You do good work for those who need it. Thank you.
We have volunteered here a couple of times. They are incredibly organized and good to work with.
However, their work is truly outstanding and should receive the spotlight.
This is my second time volunteering at the Food Pantry in Lafayette Indiana.
I do not think folks realize the amount of people that go through the pantry.
It takes a lot of volunteers to run that place on a daily basis. Most times there are barely enough.
I actually ran the checkouts, making sure we got everyone is getting checked out with the proper number of items. The others in the group were stocking the shelves as quickly as possible.
All of their regular volunteers and I suppose some are employed there are very friendly and the keep the smiles going even though I am sure it is a very stressful situation sometimes to get everyone taken care of without enough volunteers.
So, if you would like to volunteer, they need your help. They would like to have you be there 4 hours.
Food Finders is a wonderful place to volunteer at, they truly care about lessening food insecurity in the Greater Lafayette area! Their setup as a mini-grocery is unique and successful for shoppers and volunteers. They provide resources for shoppers and go above and beyond with customer service- every city needs a food bank like this one!
They do a great job across many rural counties in a red state. Their last executive director was honored by the red state governor with his highest citizen award “ Sagamore of the Wabash”. Feeding poor people is not often a red state priority.

Food Finders Food Bank is a top notch organization. We are so fortunate to have them working as a hub from Tippecanoe County, while serving so many surrounding counties, too. I have enjoyed working with FFFB as a donor of resources and time. Every other week I drive 8-10 boxes of food to home bound individuals. The team at FFFB is always organized and ready for me with my list of clients (usually the same people, which I've enjoyed getting to know!) and boxes of food prepped and ready when I arrive to pick them up. They are SO organized. Recently, I served on site with a group of local Realtors packing backpacks of food for kids to take home on the weekend. Again, they were totally ready for us-- organized and efficient. It felt like we really helped, and made great use of everyone's time. I can't say enough about FFFB, and how grateful I am for the staff that works tirelessly for the members of our community! I believe the financial resources we donate are put to excellent use.
I started volunteering at the Fresh Market Food Pantry with Food Finders about a month ago. This is a well run, organized endeavor to get clients with food insecurity fresh produce and groceries in a traditional “supermarket like” setting.
Every staff person I have met and worked with is dedicated to our clients, finding them the help they need. They also will give them assistance in getting Snap benefits, housing forms and many other services that they qualify for. All clients are treated with the utmost respect.
It takes many volunteers to run the market, and they are constantly seeking more volunteers, training them on a daily basis. The produce, milk, eggs, meat, cheese is all of good quality and expiration dates are strictly observed.
I continue to be amazed at what they accomplish with such limited resources.
I am honored to be a volunteer at the Fresh Market, and only wish I had more hours to give. I have recruited my husband, brother, friends and fellow church goers to work as well. These are all my reasons for naming Food Finders a Great Nonprofit!!!
I was a volunteer through my school and it’s wonderful to see that we can get help for food in these high inflation and uncertain times. It’s especially heartwarming seeing the children and veterans get what they needed.
Food Finders offers so many different ways to help get food to those who need it. My wife and I deliver food to people who are not able to get out of their home. It is so rewarding each time we encounter one of the people receiving the delivery because they are so grateful and appreciative to receive their box of food. They always seem to have a smile which gives us a warm feeling knowing we have helped make someone happy.
When I volunteered with Food Finders, I was pleasantly surprised at how well organized the entire process was. Everything was easy to understand for both volunteers and clients. If a question popped up, there was a smiling face waiting to help.
I love volunteering for Fresh Market! They offer free food items to everyone in need. They treat their customers with such kindness.
Food Finders is a wonderful service to my local community. Whenever I meet someone who is seeking grocery help or wishes to volunteer and make a difference, I make sure to direct them here! Volunteering here has opened my eyes to how great Lafayette's needs are, and has allowed me to grow empathy for those who are not as fortunate as I am. After my first shift here I remember sitting in my car and crying from culture shock, heartache for my neighbors, and thankfulness that I could actually DO something about the problem of hunger. The workers here are all super kind, I am a Chick-fil-A employee and I often feel outdone in terms of service quality here.
Amazing staff all around! Truly there to lend a helping hand and a genuine friendly smile.
The guests are treated with respect and kindness. I’m proud to be a part by volunteering with such fine people.
I have volunteered for Food Finders Food Bank in Lafayette, In for many years in several different roles. It is one of my favorite nonprofits to volunteer for. The tasks are clear and the staff is always friendly,, helpful and appreciative. And the other volunteers are always nice to work with as well. Although the mission is serious and important the atmosphere is always up beat and pleasant.

I have been volunteering with Food Finders for about 3 years. The Fresh Market is an excellent volunteer point due to the fact you are able to interact with the clients, wish them a good day or simply say hello. I am always moved by how thankful they are for the efforts put forth. It confirms for me people in need are generally good people who simply need a boost, some support.
I came to Food Finder's with the Purdue Cycling Club and it was a lot of fun giving back to the community with some of my closest friends! The work that Food Finders is doing is amazing, especially since the specific Saturday I volunteered, they were also hosting a shoe drive in preparation for the colder months. This is a great organization and I can't wait to see them expand and increase their influence.
Food Finders is a great nonprofit for numerous reasons. Number one is the respect shown to all who enter their doors - clients and volunteers alike. Food Finder’s is always looking for ways to meet the needs of the community such as home delivery to the elderly and disabled. Nothing is more important than every person having ample and nutritious food for their families! I love Food Finders!
I am a Purdue student who volunteers with Food Finders weekly. I have a great time working with fellow volunteers to make a difference in the Lafayette community and beyond. I find it great meeting all kinds of different people and empowering seeing the work we have done at the end of a shift. I plan to continue volunteering until graduation and hope other Purdue students find their way here!
We partner with Food Finders all the time to allow our employees a Day of Giving to give back to the community. Food Finders is so professional and organized that it makes volunteering with them a real treat. Thank you for all that you do!
This place is a great resource for the community! Love the service they provide and the people are very welcoming.
Recently volunteered at FoodFinders. The staff were wonderful and their setup ensures everyone is trained for the area they are working in. I was in the “clean room” along with about 7 other volunteers. I left there with a better appreciation for all that is involved to get donations from the warehouse to distribution center and how important volunteers are for the operation. The 2 hours flew by and I will definitely volunteer again and will encourage others to get involved as well.
I am so glad we have food finders in our community as well as 15 other counties in Indiana. Always growing and adjusting to meet the needs of those in need, Food Finders helps tjose in need with dignity and respect. I can’t say enough about how they treat everyone involved in their operations.
I'm a Food Finders volunteer and have seen first-hand how great the need is in our community and the surrounding areas for food assistance. Food Finders operates with a small but dedicated, amazing staff and a core of loyal volunteers to serve a large and varied clientele.
People can either pick up food at mobile pantry locations or shop at the Fresh Market Pantry, a spacious and well-stocked grocery where they can choose the food they and their families prefer. Food Finders also offers classes to help consumers make the most of their food supplies.
The fact that there is so much food insecurity in the richest country in the world is shameful, and organizations like Food Finders are doing an outstanding job of helping fight hunger in our area.
My company, Tate & Lyle Sagamore, of Lafayette, Indiana has been volunteering once a month at the local Food Finders Food Bank and it has been a very rewarding experience for all of those involved. It is a great way to end a busy week, gives us a chance to meet people in our community, and give to those that have a need.
This NP provides one of the basic human needs to our community. From food warehouse distribution to pantry services to home deliveries, the care, love, and support that is provided by Food Finders Food Bank to the Greater Lafayette area is unmatched.
A big point to note. This Non-Profit organization was so adaptable during the pandemic that they were able to provide food delivery services for those most in need.
I look forward to every opportunity to volunteer for Food Finders Food Bank past, present and future.
Second to None! I have volunteered for FFFB both teaching classes and helping get food together for the food pantry. The employees are helpful and caring. They do such a great job trying to help people better their situation and provide tools to help them do that. Keep up the great work!
I have volunteered and truly enjoyed the experience. They do a great job of bringing people together to help the community.
5 star all the way. Kier and her team at Food Finders Food Bank always go above and beyond! I highly recommend!
I've been both a recipient and volunteer (through our church). This is one of the most caring groups of people I know.

I first started receiving help from Food Finders Mobile Pantry, I didn't want to. I was proud and didn't want to admit I needed help. But I would take my niece, who eventually talked me into it. Fast forward, and now, even though I still receive, I've stepped up to volunteer when our church hosts it. And I love it.
I have volunteered and donated to Food Finders Food Bank in several capacities over the last 10 years or so. I am consistently in awe of their commitment to serving their 16-county service area in a thoughtful and efficient manner. FFFB has gone to great lengths to educate both clients and community through classes and connecting them to other resources. I know that when I give my time or money to FFFB I am making an immediate impact on a neighbors quality of life!
I have helped in the Food Pantry several times and always enjoy each experience. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and always thankful for the extra hands to distribute the food to clients each day. I have also worked on the Blue Jean Ball fundraiser soliciting donations from local businesses. Food Finders has such an excellent reputation in the our community that soliciting from businesses is easier because you say the word "Food Finders" and they know the donation is going a long way to help our county and the surrounding 16 counties that they serve.
Terrific organization in our community! Provides not only a good resource but resources to encourage growth and development for the future!
I have volunteered at this food banks on and off for 4 years. After working at another social service agency in Lafayette, I can confidently say that Food Finders is one of the best run agencies in Lafayette, if not the State of Indiana. I will continue to support them with my time and money for many years to come.
I worked with Food Finders for years co-chairing the backpack program for our elementary school, and now my daughters volunteer there and it's their favorite place to serve. They are caring people and a great organization. Grateful to have their leadership in our community.
Food-finders is an awesome place! Emmaus Mission Center in Logansport, In depends on Food-finders to keep our shelves filled for our clients. In today's world more and more people need our help with food, we're thankful we can fill those needs via food-finders and our local donors. I had the privilege to go there once to pick up food, everyone was courteous and helpful. The classes they offer are so helpful to those who don't have a clue about cooking healthy meals. I manage the Emmaus Face-book page and often share posts from Food-finders with our readers. Thankful, very thankful for this organization.
Food Finders not only distributes food to many food pantries in Lafayette but also has their own food pantry open 5 days a week. They really care about the people who can't afford enough food. They also offer classes and have resource coordinators to help clients.
Food Finders is terrific. They gather so much good food from farmer's markets, supermarkets, and restaurants, and distribute to the community. They also set up lunches for kids during summer break when they might go hungry without school lunches.
I have volunteered in the pantry at Food Finders , although my primary role is as a volunteer community educator. Offering a varied and relevant series of classes for the community makes Food Finders unique among food pantries. Classes offerings range from healthy nutrition and smart shopping choices to conflict and stress management to workplace preparation. The environment at Food Finders is friendly and supportive. Food Finders is a "go to" place in the community for many who are challenged with food scarcity and other life issues. As a volunteer, I love going there because I am treated with respect and appreciation by staff and community members attending classes. It's a wonderful resource for Lafayette and a wonderful place to volunteer.

The pantry serves so many people. Food Finders offers endless volunteer opportunities as well and this is great for the community and the individuals wanting to help make a difference in their neighborhood.
The Samaritan Love Center could not have Survived without the help of FOOD FINDERS. We have for many years received free food, as well as have bought food and other necessities from them. We can't thank them enough for all the help they have given us. I urge all pantries to get involved with them. The staff is kind, considerate and always willing to help you.
Everything is going well with Food Finders but some of the Volunteers need more training on how the Food Pantry works to ensure a more smoother transitions for the clients.
They do awesome providing for the community. They could do better on trying to reach the public that may not have access to telecommunications.
I have volunteered with Food Finders for a number of years working closely with all levels of the organization. They are close to my heart because they serve a fundamental need-hunger. This organization has grown significantly over the years, but especially under the the current director who is driven to meet the needs of the ever increasing numbers of needy families. She has surrounded herself with a like minded team. Whether working with the volunteer manager or one of the route drivers, they are dedicated to the Food Finder's mission. The director and her team are constantly finding and implementing new and better strategies to procure and distribute food, as well as methods to teach subjects such as nutrition and health. This is an outstanding organization operated by an outstanding group of individuals dedicated to wonderful cause. Thank you Food Finders
I am the pastor of Congress Street United Methodist Church in Lafayette and we partnered with Food Finders a year ago as we set-out to open a food pantry at the newly re-opened Oakland Elementary School. It's been a wonderful partnership for free or very reduced-cost product for our pantry.
Our team from work went over to help with packaging of food for distribution and It was a well organized system. The facility was clean, well kept and the staff was very nice. It is a pleasure to say that we helped with such a great outreach to our community.
Food Finders Food Bank (FFFB) offers a variety of areas for anyone to help, which is part of what makes it a great organization. I have had many opportunities to sort and label food for distribution with my team from work, which is great for team building for any work group.
I also reached out the them to see where my sons Cub Scout group could help. FFFB helped identify about a half dozen areas/Projects that they could help our community outside the FFFB facilities since they were to young to be in one of their facilities.
Our scouts were able collect food donations totaling over 400lbs the last couple years. The food drive for our scouts has become a great tradition for our entire pack.
Our scouts also made laundry detergent for FFFB, which is needed for several FFFB clients in our local area on a monthly basis. The scouts had to first collect plastic bottles for the detergent which aligns with our efforts to teach the scouts about the importance of recycling. Our den was able to produce 234 bottles of detergent for FFFB. We now plan to expand this to our entire Scout Pack in the future.
The opportunities that FFFB has provided for our scouts has helped educate them on the importance of helping out and giving back to our community. The scouts learned that there are a variety of ways they can help as an individuals and the importance of giving back to their community. They also experience first hand how big of an impact they can make when they team up to help others.
Food Finders has been a great help to our campus ministry. They opened their doors to us on a Sunday morning so that we could "Workship" there; volunteering to repackage food, then staying for worship. We have also hosted a Food Finder's Mobile Pantry in the parking lot of our church. They are able to provide hands -on volunteer opportunities for our students, while sharing the political and social reasons why there are so many food insecure people in our community.
I have now volunteered for a number of days at Food Finders. I find this organization is very well organized and managed with the focus on delivering food to where the need is.
I am proud to say I volunteer and work with this organization.
This week I had the opportunity to dedicate some of my time at the local Food Finders Food Bank, Inc. in Lafayette, IN. Food Finders is responsible for distributing food not only to Tippecanoe county, but to fifteen surrounding counties in Indiana as well. The program is funded by the United Way, grants, foundations, corporate sponsors, USDA, and private donors. These organizations help Food Finders distribute more than 7 million pounds of food annually to non profit organizations that work to alleviate hunger throughout North-Central Indiana. They do this through a variety of programs. The Agency Partner Program is responsible for providing the single largest source of food for over 160 hunger relief agencies such as soup kitchens, food pantries, and shelters. The mobile pantry outreach program has a “farmers market” style distribution. Food Finders takes a truck load of food across the central 16 counties to efficiently reach the Hoosiers who need it most. The Senior Grocery Program provides for seniors who are in need and have special dietary restrictions. This helps if they are unable to utilize certain food resources such as pantries and soup kitchens or if they have mobility issues. Another helpful outreach initiative is the Backpack Program. Shockingly every 1 out of 5 kids in Indiana alone struggles with hunger. Even with free or reduced lunch programs, these children have no food on the weekends. This program dedicates a backpack of food so the children have something to eat between Friday afternoon and Monday morning. Food Finders is responsible for over 4,000 backpacks each week. A majority of these programs are not possible without the help of volunteers.
Walking in to Food Finders Food Bank, Inc. I was not aware of the impact a single person can make in an organization such as this. First, I was introduced to a few staff members and about 8 other volunteers ready to make a difference. My assignment for the day was to package Pinto beans from a large 2000 lb. sack, into smaller 2lb. portion sizes where the bag was then sealed and placed in a box ready to distribute. Before I began, I had to apply a disposable hair net, gloves, and even an apron. Although, the task was as easy as dividing and weighing this mass of beans into small 2lb. packages, I still felt that what I was doing could potentially be making an impact on someone’s life. By the end of the day I was solely responsible for about 100 bags of Pinto beans ready to be sent to people in need.
By participating in this service learning activity it opened my eyes to not only the hunger issues of the world, but the very issues that are happening right where I live. I am now aware that 20% of children in the state I was born and raised has issues getting one of the main necessities of life. This not only deeply saddened me about my fellow Hoosiers, but it also brought to light how important this issue is globally. If children in the United States are having trouble eating, I can only imagine the trouble this issue is causing on a global scale. I am thankful I never had to grow up with such a tragedy, but now I am aware the impact this holds with the rest of the world. I am thankful that I had an opportunity to make a difference even if it was only 100 bags of pinto beans. I hope that some day the people of the world can take a few hours out of their week to volunteer for a good cause like Food Finders.
I've volunteered here many times in the past few years, helping in both a warehouse and distribution setting. I always have a great experience. The instructions are very clear, the work is not too physically demanding, the people are very nice, and I always feel appreciated.
Signing up is easy (every time you sign up, you are committing to one day, one time, it is easy to cancel if you need to, and you can sign up for as many events as you want), and there are so many options for time slots and activities. There really is something for everyone.
I would recommend volunteering here to anyone. I have brought several of my friends along with me, and all of them have enjoyed the experience, too.
The first time I signed up to volunteer I did not know what to expect. Everyone at Food Finders is so genuinely nice and accommodating! The experience makes you want to keep coming back to volunteer again and again. Its a wonderful organization and I am so happy to be able to volunteer on site and look forward to meeting new volunteers each week. Food Finders makes the process of volunteering so easy. It's such a rewarding feeling to know you are helping others.
We have volunteered at several kinds of the activities with our children too: the organizers are always very helpful, organized and friendly. It makes the work of lifting and sharing easy and effective. We are so grateful to them each and every time. It is safe and friendly for families to get involved in the community.
Please keep up the great work.
I learned about Food Finders Food Bank through an email from my school, Purdue University. My first volunteer experience with this organization was that I walked into the room and saw three ladies working on a "cereal mountain." The atmosphere was very friendly and depended on team work, I was glad to be volunteering in an environment like this. The lady on a ladder at the top of the "cereal mountain" was Stacy. She welcomed me and helped me get started. From my first impression, Stacy is very informative, organized and a great manager. I definitely plan to volunteer in the future!
I began volunteering with Food Finders shortly after the passing of my older brother. He had, on occasion, needed the assistance. I have worked at the warehouse and my family of 7 worked a "Families Feeding Families" event. What really gets to me though is the Tuesday Whistle Stop, to be there with the people and show them kindness and a commitment to them; as someone once did to my brother. it means the world to me as I see the same faces each week and they know that someone cares. What I once did in honor of by brother, I now do for us both. I thank the volunteers and staff af Food Finders for their non-stop work in obtaining and delivering food and for being a presence in the lives of so many.
I have volunteered on 3 occasions with the Lafayette FoodFinders. I thorougly enjoy my time there and everyone is very helpful and kind. I have been recruiting coworkers and friends to volunteer as well and we are trying to get a group scheduled.
I have volunteered for Food Finders at one of their mobile pantries, distributing food to those in need in our community. The organization, professionalism and care that Food Finders puts in to their methods shines through during this type of event. They were extremely coordinated, making it easy for us volunteers to participate and always have a role. The way they care for each individual as they go through the line shows they are dedicated to really serving the people and not themselves. There's nothing exciting about experiencing people in need, but Food Finders is a glimmer of hope to those that otherwise would be without nourishment for them and their families. It was a rewarding and enlightening experience and I am proud to have them in our community.
Food Finders does a great job of obtaining, organizing, delivering, and distributing a lot of needed food to those who have limited incomes and food in our communities. The mobile, well-organized and refrigerated distribution centers (trucks!) are great resources to the communities. The coordinators are phenomenal at quickly organizing and employing volunteers from all walks of life into aiding in the distribution to those in need. I love working with this group!
Food Finders food bank helps distribute nutritional food to those in need. They have mobile pantries that commute to various towns in several counties in the northern half of indiana. They are a support unit by means that they assist by giving nutritional food to accomondate times when nutrition may be lacking in a home. The summer months are the hardest for families due to children being home and that extra food is needed, where normally a meal is provide at school. I have volunteered at several mobile pantries near by and I helped others who needed the food by telling them, taking them to the pantry and picking up food for those that cant get it themselves. I have seen pregnant women, children, the elderly and the disabled recieve nutritious food from Food Finders. I am thankful for this organization and believe that it is a tremendous support unit for the people of these communities of northern Indiana. It is a God sent organization for these individuals that need the extra assistance.

Food finders food bank travels to many small towns with there mobile food pantries. I have had the opportunity to volunteer with the mobile food pantries at several different towns. I have seen families of young and old receiving assistance. The individuals get to pick out their own preferred taste of food out of several boxes and in each box their contains meat, vegetables, breads, and maybe fresh produce. It all depends on what people donate to the facility. It has been a pleasure and a memorable experience to help distribute food to those in need of food. To me food finders is a safety net kind of for those that just dont have enough funding to buy food for the month. Thank God that the food finders food bank exist, because with this economy and the lack of employment many families have a dire need for this type of support. Thank you to the food finders staff and all who donate! Love in Christ, Tammy
Food Finders is a model nonprofit organization in the Greater Lafayette community. Over the past five years, they have greatly increased the amount of food distributed to local food pantries. They have also started the mobile food pantry, an innovative means to distribute more food to people in need. I can think of very few other nonprofits in the area that continuously innovate and tirelessly work to improve their operations as Food Finders does. Lafayette is lucky to have caring volunteers and staff at Food Finders who are committed to alleviating hunger in this community.
I see efforts at constant improvement and respectful, caring delivery of services. Easy place to volunteer for meaningful work.
This program is awesome and very Christ like it shows the true meaning of love and giving in the name of Jesus. God bless food finders and its founders
Food Finders makes a difference in my community in Tippecanoe County. I am privileged to
donate by time to such a worthwhile organization. I see members of the community being
helped that have no where else to turn.
Food Finders help people around the city of Lafayette. They make a difference to the people and many volunteers are willing to help out.
I helped with the mobile truck on several occasions and seeing the grateful faces for whatever we happened to have that day was very though provoking. People grateful for bread or fresh vegetables. It was very humbling.
Lafayette Food Finders works so very hard to meet the needs of our community and the surrounding community. They see a near and find away to help.
I have been volunteering at Food Finders of Lafayette Indiana for several months now; I'm only able to get there once or twice a month, but it has been a great experience. The organization seems well run and reaches a very large service area. There are many opportunities to volunteer: onsite, mobile pantry, special events, to name a few. The employees I have met are friendly & seem genuinely excited about their very important mission.
Food Finders Food Bank is an absolutely wonderful place to volunteer. Their volunteer coordinator is extremely helpful and motivated and all of the employees at Food FInders do their best to help the community in any way possible. They truly care about Lafayette. I look forward to going to volunteer in a positive atmosphere each week. They appreciate their volunteers and I feel like I am really making a difference when I am there.
The amazing people at Food Finders go above and beyond every day to eradicate hunger in the communities they serve. From piloting programs outside of the scope of their "regular job" to constantly seeking innovative ways to get more funding to serve more people, they are committed to the work they do. I love how they create flexible opportunities for everyone to serve.
I volunteered here for a few days during the summer after seeing an article in the newspaper. I thought it was a very good experience for me to see the work that Food Finders Food Bank does. One of the primary things I did during my volunteer work there, was make laundry detergent for buyers. It never occurred to me that Food Finders not only worked with finding food for those in need, but also provided them with other necessities such as detergent. I think this is a great organization, and I would like to continue volunteering there.
I first met the FoodFinders Food Bank when I was working with the summer lunch program at our church. Each day we provided cold lunches for the children of the neighborhood who normally would have eaten free lunches at school in the winter. It was marvelous to watch these children eat a healthy lunch then play, but it broke my heart to watch some of the parents who obviously needed a lunch too, but were excluded from the program. Our pastor got hold of Food Finders and they came to the church with food for us to give to the families. To watch the kids jump up and down because they got "tuna helper" in their sack for dinner made me want to cry! Many parents went away with heartfelt gratitude for what they recieved. Now my situation has changed, and my husband lost his job. Now I am the one who follows the food truck and waits in long lines to get the produce and tuna helper. We don't qualify for food stamps because we are drawing from retirement savings to keep our house. The food I get at give-aways gives us variety and produce that I can't afford to buy. I am grateful for the Food Finders truck!
This is a great source of food for those who need it. The staff at Foodfinders in Lafayette Indiana are just wonderful. They care....they help....they participate in the process. They are always on time with their trucks and do a great job anticipating the needs of the community. I have been volunteering for about a year or so and we have always had a wonderful experience.
I became involved with Food Finders Food Bank several years ago through Tri Kappa. Volunteering with their mobile food pantry has been a very personal rewarding experience for me. Seeing the hope, appreciation, and happiness on the faces of those Food Finders Food Bank helps is a sight I will not forget.
Food Finders backpack program has made a tremendous difference in the lives of so many school age children and being able to be a part of that program has been a wonderful opportunity for my family to help our community.
had a great time with friends helping a great organization. Food Finders give to so many in need. i started out as a volunteer helping with things that needed done at the food bank and have since decided to work with a local health club to have them sponsor a food drive for the holidays.
Review from Guidestar
Food Finders carries the very difficult task of being the main food bank / distribution for 16 counties in Indiana. Throughout 2011 and 2012 I volunteered to help with several mobile food pantry events - where a truck loaded with food and household items heads out into the communities that need assistance. I helped distribute over 15,000 lbs. of food to those in need. The staff and volunteers at Food Finders are to be commended in every way... from their tremendous organization and leadership to the compassion they exhibit every day - kudos. Volunteering and being on the front lines was a truly eye-opening experience to the food insecurity of our community and I recommend to others that they volunteer their time, raise donations or contribute food items to such a great organization.

Thank you for your kind words and support of the food bank Terry39!
