Lutheran Child and Family Services

The Sharing Place Food Pantry is a material assistance program which provides food for families in Indianapolis. The Sharing Place is staffed by our wonderful and talented volunteers recruited from the community and local congregations.

Led by our amazing network of local churches, the Sharing Place is also able to offer home delivery service to a limited number of homebound individuals once per month.
