INDIANAPOLIS — Below-freezing temperatures are expected to stay here in Central Indiana throughout the rest of the week.This winter weather can be potentially dangerous for those facing food insecurity.“During the winter months you have high utility bills so if you’re gonna heat your apartment or house, it’s gonna cost a lot more,' Executive Director of Crooked Creek Food Pantry Kathy Hahn Keiner said. Budgets can be tight in the winter for Hoosier families.
Peter Zubler with St Vincent de Paul says his pantries are also seeing increased foot traffic right now.“We see a spike in shoppers at our pantry and most pantries in the city as a result of seasonal employment. We speculate that’s a big part of it. Folks are no longer able to be gainfully employed,' Zubler said. The harsh weather and poor road conditions create additional barriers.
