Last week the HEPL team helped make distribution day even more exciting by giving away children's books and helping families sign up for library cards.

We’re off to a great start!

We kicked off the first week of Summer Meals distribution with the help of an incredible group of volunteers from the City of Fishers. Every year, this team shows up ready to work, and this year was no exception!

When a young person feels supported, everything changes. Thank you for helping us build a stronger community — one relationship, one meal, one moment at a time.

Our Wines Around the World fundraiser is always made sweeter by the incredible local eateries that support Fishers Youth Initiative!

As we roll into summer, we’re dreaming of patio weather, great food, and supporting the amazing restaurants that help make our mission possible. Be sure to stop by, grab a bite, and show some love to these incredible FYI supporters this season!

It was a great weekend! We're so grateful for this community and the support they offer our program and the youth around them. Our shelves are looking full thanks to all of our resource partners from the spring, and we're excited to feed youth in our community this summer!

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing Fishers community for showing up and supporting the 10th Annual Pack the Cruiser event!

Because of your generosity, we collected 6,876 pounds of food and $1,807 for perishable goods.

Every donation will help the Fishers Youth Initiative's Summer Meal Program, ensuring local children and families have access to nutritious meals throughout the summer.

Missed the event but still want to help? There's still time to make a difference! Cash donations can be made online at: https://fishersyouthinitiative.org/donate-to-FYI/

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make this event a success year after year

Did you know every week through our Summer Meals program we pack a family meal? This summer, we want to provide more than meals - we want to create moments of connection.

We'd love to distribute a card game to every Summer Meals family so they can laugh together. Want to bring a little extra joy (and competition) this summer? Donate a card game through our Amazon Wishlist today! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2YDKQGJAMMFS3?ref_=wl_share
