Choice Food Pantry
at Grace Care Center
Not just emergency help.
A pathway out of poverty.
Home to the area’s largest free, fresh food market, Grace Care Center serves 12,000 people each year.
A Central Indiana food pantry that fuels hope.
Choices are dignifying
Meeting basic needs feels completely different at Grace Care Center, home to one of Central Indiana’s biggest food pantries – the Choice Food Pantry.
Here, families are welcomed into a supportive community and empowered with the resources and tools they need to build lasting stability and independence.
Being met with dignity during a tough time is what keeps people coming back and engaging deeper. While many families come for food, they often leave with something much more powerful….hope.
A different food pantry experience
Most food pantries give out the same items to everyone in pre-packed boxes.
Instead, we’re thoughtful about how families experience food assistance at our Central Indiana food pantry. Here, families discover:
The ability to choose their own food, shopping with points instead of dollars
That healthy options are not just accessible, but prioritized
A welcoming atmosphere, where they are greeted by name
Prioritizing nutrition
The Choice Food Pantry prioritizes nutrition by providing balanced and wholesome options through a point system that encourages healthier selections.
These selections include fresh fruit and vegetables, a variety of dairy and protein products, and more.
This ensures that families not only receive the assistance they need but also have the opportunity to make healthier dietary choices.
