Feeding Neighbors
Locally owned Carmel restaurant, divvy, partnered with Carmel City Center and Pedcor Companies to launch Feeding Neighbors.
The Feeding Neighbors program will provide meals to children and their families in Marion and Hamilton counties that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The meals will be delivered by local church food pantries to families who have signed up for assistance.
Donations goes toward the cost of food, packaging, delivery and meal preparation labor. $15 provides an adult with breakfast and lunch including fresh vegetables and fruits; or two days of breakfast, lunch and snacks for children. We are coordinating weekly orders for 100 recipients for three separate locations.
Divvy kicked off the program on Thursday, April 23, 2020 with 100 meals donated to Brookside Community Church through their Brookside Emergency Care Fund, which delivers food directly to families.
Divvy restaurant, located at Carmel City Center, is owned by local restaurateurs Kevin ‘Woody’ Rider and Richelle Rider. The Riders also own Woodys Library Restaurant on Main Street in Carmel. Divvy will organize the meal preparation and weekly distribution to the local organizations in need.
“We realize that families in our local community are in crisis and food pantries are struggling to keep up with demand,” said Kevin Rider. “Our hope, along with our partners, is that we are able to provide a little bit of relief to our neighbors during this uncertain time.”
Feeding Neighbors welcomes assistance in funding for the project. To date, approximately $20,000 has been raised to help the initiative. To make a contribution to the Feeding Neighbors program, please contact Kevin ‘Woody’ Rider at [email protected].
