Feeding Joy

Feeding Joy is Indy Pride’s food access program, created in response to the growing food insecurity facing LGBTQ+ Hoosiers across Central Indiana. Rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to safe, healthy food, Feeding Joy provides free monthly grocery boxes with shelf-stable essentials like canned vegetables, proteins, beans, and boxed goods. Boxes are distributed through a drive-through pickup model, with limited delivery available for community members who are disabled, homebound, or lack transportation.

Funded through a one-year grant, the program currently offers a limited number of boxes each month. The application opens on the first of every month for about one week. As we work to expand the program, community support helps make it possible—through donations of unexpired pull-tab canned goods at Indy Pride events and partnerships with local organizations.

Feeding Joy reflects Indy Pride’s commitment to equity, belonging, and care in action—meeting real needs today while strengthening our community for tomorrow.
