Second Harvest Food Bank in dire need of new location to serve needy Hoosiers

The search is on for a new site to distribute food to those who need it most in central Indiana. Second Harvest Food Bank’s Tailgate Program has been distributing 30,000 pounds of food to the needy twice a month at a site provided for free by Borg Warner. But that property has now been leased to a new business and the people who distribute that food are scrambling to find a new place to set up. Any new site must have five acres and have easy access and egress to city streets because as many as 350 vehicles can be lined up at any point in time to get the free food that is being handed out. Some even camp out.
