A number of pantries, food banks, and churches, in Lake County and Gary Indiana may be able to provide free groceries, food, and other forms of non-financial aid to individuals and families who need help. They can be contacted if you are faced with an emergency, or just if you need assistance from a hardship you may be facing. A comprehensive listing of the Lake County food distribution locations are below.
The best approach is to call a location first, as many have limited hours, and they may have conditions that need to be met by the person seeking help. For example, there may be income criteria, age limits or other requirements. In addition, many food pantries in Lake County may also be able to provide clothing, access to a thrift store, or help in apply for both federal and state of Indiana government assistance programs.
