What hours are food pantries in Indianapolis open?

Can I get food today in Indianapolis, Indiana?

Call 211 first — it's free, 24/7, and the dispatcher can route you to a pantry open right now or to an emergency food box. Soup kitchens (which serve hot meals) also operate same-day in most cities. We list both on this page.
