Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture have announced that Indiana’s 11 food banks will receive $2 million to support ongoing efforts to feed Hoosiers in need.

Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development, says providing for food insecure Hoosiers is a priority.

“I am proud that the General Assembly recognized this by appropriating additional state funding towards our Indiana food banks,” she said in a news release.
