Celebrate BHM with Us! Learn how we can all support the Indianapolis-Based Non-Profit: Indy Community Pantry

To celebrate Black History Month, we not only wanted to share stories of amazing Black women in our community but also offer our platform as a way for you to learn how you can support them, too! Meet DeAndrea Rayner of Indy Community Pantry.

They’re a local nonprofit that work hard to help people living in Indianapolis food deserts have easier access to free food in their community fridges!

Sometimes, getting started is the hardest part. What helped kick it off for you?

How are you celebrating BHM?

I celebrate it everyday, by buying black and supporting those that look like me!
