INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Freestore Foodbank recently received a $550 donation in support of their Power Pack Program.  A Power Pack contains nutritious food for at risk children to take home each weekend.  Students who take part in the program receive Power Packs each Friday so they have something to eat when they’re away from school.  The Foodbank ended the 2010 fiscal year distributing 84,081 Power Packs to 55 sites.  They are currently working to add new sites, with the goal of providing 130,000 Power packs to 3,500 children in 2011.
