At the NWI Food Council, our mission is simple but bold: to build a Northwest Indiana where everyone has access to fresh, local food, and farmers can thrive while caring for our land and our future.

When you give, you’re not just making a donation—you’re joining a movement.

💚 A movement that believes in the healing power of food.
💚 A movement that ensures neighbors are fed with dignity.
💚 A movement that uplifts farmers and strengthens our local economy. Together, we can transform hunger, health, and hope in our community.

How Your Gift Makes an Impact

Every dollar you give strengthens the food system across Northwest Indiana. The examples below show just a few ways your generosity makes a difference—but no matter the amount, your gift supports all our programs, farmers, and neighbors working toward a hunger-free, farmer-friendly community.

🌱 $250+ – Sustains Critical Programs and Strengthen Policy Efforts
Your larger gift sustains critical programs and strengthens policy efforts to re-localize food. With Indiana importing 90% of what Hoosiers eat, your support builds a food system that is resilient, just, and farmer-friendly—for our region, our state, and beyond.

🌱 $100 – Supports Nutritious Food and Healthy Community
Your gift ensures nutritious, regeneratively grown food reaches those who need it most. With more than 110,000 food-insecure residents and over 200 farmers struggling to make a living, your support helps heal our community, our bodies, and our planet.

🌱 $50 – Ensures Local Food Feeds Local People
Your gift uplifts local farmers while feeding our most vulnerable neighbors—from children in schools to seniors and new mothers. Every $50 keeps food grown here in Northwest Indiana feeding the people who live here.

🌱 $20 – Provides Local Produce to Seniors
Your gift helps provide fresh, local produce to vulnerable seniors through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (eFMNP), which increases healthy food access, reduces transportation barriers, and strengthens our regional food system.

🌱 $10 – Connects Women Farmers to New Moms
Your gift provides first-time new moms with access to local, nutritious food during a critical stage of their child’s life. Through the FarmHer to Mama program, you help connect women farmers with families, ensuring strong starts and healthier futures.
