Unique Programs at the Indiana Location
While Midwest Food Bank has a distinct mission and a steady set of values as an organization, God’s guidance has taken each of our locations on its own path of discovery and growth. We are proud that our community has provided enough support and volunteerism to fuel our own unique programs. Exclusive to the Bloomington location, these programs started as ideas from our volunteers and grew into compassionate acts of care that reach worldwide.
Promise for Protein
How it works:
- Provides animal donations and the logistics necessary to convert these donated animals into packaged protein for those in need. 100% of monetary donations are used to convert the donated animals into packaged meat. Midwest Food Bank then receives the meat and stores it at their facility in large freezers until they distribute it to over 250 food banks, pantries, and shelters in Indiana. Learn More.
How you can help:

Remote Distributions
In an effort to serve more agencies, Midwest Food Bank has several off-site places where agencies can pick up food. They are usually operated out of borrowed warehouse space. Food is delivered to the site for a montly distribution, and volunteers facilitate it. Remote distributions offer Midwest Food Bank a cost-effective means of expanding our impact and reach.
