We Feed People.
At Geist Christian Church, we are dedicated to feeding people. Every year, we join forces with non-profit agencies that actively combat food insecurity. Together, we work toward the common goal of ensuring individuals and families have access to nutritious meals. Below are overviews of each of the organizations and one thing YOU can do to help address food insecurity in our community.

The Come-To-Me Food Pantry opened its doors on October 17, 2007, and has grown into a community-wide effort to feed thousands of individuals and families in Hamilton County. Our goal continues to be to show love and care to those in need by providing a week’s supply of food and personal care items each month. So far over 2 million pounds of food and personal care items have been distributed!
Second Helpings is a community kitchen that prepares and delivers more than 1 million meals to the Central Indiana community each year. We’re not just teaching people to cook. We’re providing an avenue for people to transform their own lives. We don’t just collect food. We rescue food because we refuse to stand by and allow waste while so many in our community do not have the healthy food they need to thrive.
The Sharing Place is a material assistance program that provides free food and clothing to families in need in nine zip codes in the Greater Indianapolis area. Staffed by wonderful and talented volunteers recruited from the community and local congregations, The Sharing Place accepts monetary donations and gifts-in-kind, pantry staples like canned food and dry goods, and even fresh produce! The Sharing Place also accepts donations of lightly used clothes, shoes, and coats for children from infancy to 18 years of age.
The Society of St. Andrew brings people together to harvest and share healthy food, reduce food waste, and build caring communities by offering nourishment to hungry neighbors.
Bread for the World is a Christian advocacy organization urging U.S. decision makers to do all they can to pursue a world without hunger. Our mission is to educate and equip people to advocate for policies and programs that can help end hunger in the U.S. and around the world.
