The Sharing Place Food Pantry is a material assistance program which provides food for families.
The Sharing Place is staffed by our wonderful and talented volunteers recruited from the community and local congregations.
Clients are eligible to receive food two times per month. Food assistance services do not require a referral, but do require proof of residence at each visit, such as a piece of mail from the last 60 days with current address.
Led by our amazing network of local churches, the Sharing Place is able to offer home delivery service to a limited number of homebound individuals once per month. Please contact us at 317-760-0420 for more details.

SilverBox Home Deliveries:
Led by our amazing SliverBox liaison, The Sharing Place is able to offer home delivery service to about 55-60 homebound individuals once per month. This program was created by King of Glory in partnership with The Sharing Place to help serve the most vulnerable in our community. This program continues expanding its service capacity by working with additional local churches. In the fall of 2024 SilverBox became an umbrella of The Sharing Place in effort to support these and all needs for this community
