The first Latino-run food pantry in Madison County is addressing hunger in the community by solving the root causes of the issue and offering resources in hopes of shortening the line.
Las Manos de Jesus Missional Food Pantry is a ministry of Tabernaculo Adoracion Familiar Alpha church in Anderson.
FHL is a local non-profit organization that trains food pantries in Central Indiana to address hunger beyond bags of food. FHL inspires food pantries to not only serve food to the community but provides other resources to help individuals. They train the pantry workers and teach them how to connect with local assistance programs, such as job training, while also offering certifications in food handling.
"We know how difficult it can be to communicate or reach out, especially when you have those cultural or language barriers," Parra-Azoca said."So, we wanted to be able to provide that because we, ourselves have known that struggle, so we wanted to be that hand that would help them."
