Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center - Food Services

Access to healthy, nutritious food is vitally important to children and adults alike. Unfortunately, families and residents in low-income communities sometimes struggle to meet this most basic of needs. In some cases, even when food is available, it often lacks the nutrients that are needed to stay healthy. This can have a particularly negative affect on children who depend on nutritionally balanced meals to grow and develop. Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center makes sure that everyone in its neighborhood has access to the meals they need to survive and thrive. And we also provide a clean, hospitable environment to eat them in. From our emergency food pantry to evening dinner program, we work to ensure that life's most essential resource - food - is available to every single person in our community. Emergency Food Pantry: Open to residents of West Indianapolis. Evening dinner for Kids & William Penn Seniors: Offered every evening, Monday through Thursday. In partnership with Second Helpings, we provide a nutritious meal to all kids enrolled in our after-school or Summer Day Camp programs. Parents are welcome (and encouraged!) to eat with their kids, too. The meals are also served to senior citizens who live in William Penn Commons, an apartment building located adjacent to Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center.
